As we prepare for the possibility of yet another hurricane in the Orlando area, ORRA will be closed on Friday September 3 and “hopefully” reopen Tuesday September 7.

And remember, it’s times like these we cannot take for granted the relationships we have built with our customers. After taking care of your own “house” two weeks ago, did you visit any present and/or past clients to check on their welfare? It’s been told that in a neighborhood near downtown, their mailman, Dan, was seen early Saturday morning checking on his “customers,” especially the elderly and making sure everybody was okay. It was his day off; and he lives in Stonybrook.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
