As I write this letter, I am sitting waiting for Hurricane Milton to descend upon Florida. Wherever it lands, we are going to have many BBF members that will be seriously affected. We have already had several BBF members that have had to deal with Hurricane Debby and Hurricane Helene already in 2024. I am keeping all our members in my prayers and hope everyone suffered minimal damage. Please reach out if there is anything we can do for you.
