A Note from Russ….
It’s been an amazing and educational year. You, our customers have been the biggest factor in getting us through a tough yet, believe it or not, very rewarding time. A microburst affected C dock in June (see MARINA UPDATE pg 3), an incentive program for our customers (see SLIP RENT $AVINGS page 2), and a chance to find out anything you want to know about BOAT INSURANCE (see ALRED’S EVENTS) are just some of the results of how we’ve tried to turn negatives into positives. Thanks for working with us. I really mean that. Give us your feedback on what information you’d like to see in this newsletter? How can we keep you informed better? Give us a call or email us… Russ Cranford, Manager [email protected]
