{{first_name| Friend}},
I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. With these dropping temperatures, it is definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas around here. We have one more gathering before the year closes, and you won’t want to miss this one. I’m also looking forward to what lies ahead in 2025. It’s about to start getting good. Stay tuned!
TL;DR: The brunch in November was awesome. Didn’t make it? You surely missed out. But there’s an opportunity to make up for it in December. We’ll be at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on the evening of Friday, December 20 for a conversation with Tony Jenkins, Florida Blue Market President (Central FL) followed by a concert with CeCe Teneal. Access discounted reception + concert tickets for $105 using code 15BA05 by Friday, December 6. Buy tickets (now!!!!) because they will sell out and I want to see you there!
RECAP
Sunday Brunch

What’s better than a Sunday afternoon filled with live music, delicious food, mimosas, and great people? If you missed our brunch, let me give you the highlights because it was a great time of fellowship.
Picture this: a room filled with laughter (just look at the smiles and postures of joy in the picture above), the sweet sound of live music setting the tone, and a brunch spread that is nothing short of delectable. We had a mix of familiar faces and new friends, all brought together by great conversation and even better vibes. Whether it was trading stories over a plate or grooving to the music, the energy in the room was contagious.
To everyone who made it—thank you! For those who couldn’t make it, check out our next event below. I expect to see you there, glass in hand, ready to toast to good times!
UP NEXT
Salon Series + Holiday Concert

Friday, December 20, 6:00 PM: Kick off your Christmas week with a conversation with Tony Jenkins, Florida Blue Market President - Central Florida, as our featured guest. If you don’t know Tony, where have you been? He is Mr. Orlando and has his hands in most of the great things happening in the City Beautiful. Make sure you’re all ears because our conversation will be full of golden nuggets.
After the reception, we will head down to Judson’s Live to enjoy the soulful sounds from CeCe Teneal. We saw her bring the house down in March, and I expect nothing less this time.
