With all of our festivals and events, I think it makes sense. 

Ive helped organize the well known Orange Blossom Festival Downtown Mission Inn, Toys for Tots programs, After School programs and so many other special events as well, and these parents have more of a dedication then others when it comes to buying a home.So if anybody wants to hear more on what I have planned.
