All throughout Central Florida, FCB employees rolled out the red carpet for kindness.

Thank you to Lindsey and Dave for coming over and share in a conversation. Lindsey is bipolar and told me of some of her challenges. She does her best in all she does.

Thank you to Kent Ellert, CEO and President of Florida Community Bank for the generous donation to support our “Gratitude and Kindness Tour,” visiting all 46 FCB banking locations and corporate office.

Babcock Neighborhood School is one very special place. It is a wonderful nurturing, learning environment for the students. Their timing was perfect for an afternoon visit to their campus yesterday. I was humbled to learn that they planted 17 plants to honor the lives taken in Parkland, Florida last week.
Thank you to everyone for this very special visit.

I am meeting all sorts of wonderful people as I visit Florida Community Banks across Florida. My two visits were in Sarasota yesterday.

Thank you to this family from Boston for introducing me to their daughters. Sophia has down syndrome and couldn’t wait to tell me that she was going to go get a chocolate ice cream cone and her sister was going to get a chocolate chip ice cream cone. Beautiful angels. May God bless this family.

Today was a very big day visiting FCB branches in these three communities: Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, and Englewood. I rode the Kindness Bicycle in each one of these communities connecting with residents and vacationers. I found big support for this Gratitude and Kindness Tour from everyone today. Thank you FCB employees for sharing your stories of kindness with me.
