After the FPC Conference, John S, John F, Chuck B, Cynithia S, Bill F, and myself stayed for an extra day. Since today is Super Tuesday all of our appointments on the Hill were cancelled. Instead John S. was able to put together some very nice appointments dealing with issues in Florida. We started out at the Small Business Administration. This was an enlightened discussion on how it operates and works with small business. Next we were off to the Governor's office. Yes, I said Governor of Florida. Although he was with McCain, we went to his office and meet with staff. Not a lot of us know that the Governors of each state have an office in Washington.
The next day began at the NAR building, which I was just at 4 days ago. We had two meetings in the morning, the first with Fannie-Mae and the second with a Natural Distaster coalition. Both meetings went hand in hand, discussing the issues that are so near and dear to our members.
Although these meetings were much different than we are acustom to doing at this time, we made some major advances in getting help for our members. That is what our call to duty is for FAR. Now off to Orlando for some much needed rest and catch up at the office.
