Thank You Coldwell Banker Upchurch Realty and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage
for a very informative meeting!
In the pictures below there are many stories going on… AAHBA President Jared York leads the meeting, Norm leads and everyone follows with the pledge to the flag, and can you tell it was St. Patrick’s day note the green outfits. When Mike Grace leans in
to share knowledge on a subject, it’s a good time to listen and Daniel Bennett gives a rundown on real estate comparing counties.
New members, networking, great food and one of our very own Dancing with the Athens Stars - Susan Bogardus!

Graphs and Laughs
Contrary to popular wisdom
and after controlling for
socioeconomic status,
persons that eat an apple
a day are just as likely
to see the doctor or have
an overnight hospital stay
as those that
do not.
Despite this heavy blow to
the fruit-farmerindustrial complex, the
research did show that
daily apple eaters used
slightly fewer
prescription drugs,
suggesting that an apple a
day keeps the pharmacist
away.
