Transparency, transparency, transparency… what a hot topic and often-voiced word! Mark Carter has penned an excellent article titled Achieving Financial Transparency inwhich he defines “real transparency.” Check it out on page 12.

A neighbor of mine recently commented about how scary it is for her to drive to work each morning. She leaves quite early, and comes across a number of joggers and walkers in our roads instead of on the available sidewalks. Worse yet, they’re often clothed in dark colors, making it especially hard to see them. Not good. PLEASE, PLEASE stay on our sidewalks when jogging, especially if you’re out early in the morning when it’s so hard to see pedestrians due to darkness or sun glare (like on Washingtonia Palm on the way to play golf). Let’s stay safe!
Speaking of safe, please see Emergencies Happen from the Safety Committee on page 44.

I believe most of you read this issue in the magazine format on-line. If you choose to download it to your computer as a PDF (Adobe) for viewing, it’s easy to do. When BTP is first opened, scroll down to the bottom of page 1. When there, simply click the downward arrow icon (see sample #3 below) to download the magazine as a PDF on your laptop, iPad, or cell phone. For viewing purposes, on the right-hand side of the PDF page, click the display icon and choose “Two-page view” and “Show cover page.” It will appear just like the on-line magazine version! If you download the issue, you can print any page you like, and also store any current or prior issue on your laptop. It’s easy-peasy!
