Save the Date for the Monastra Foundation’s Fall Golf Tournament
Last year’s inaugural fall golf tournament set really high standards for the Joseph C. Monastra Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research as it raised $100,000 for the fight against pancreatic cancer. The organization is gearing up for another round against the silent killer when the supporters tee off at the Golf Club of Georgia on October 27, 2008, and is currently seeking sponsors.

Carol Flammer Quoted in the AJC

Flammer’s involvement with Atlanta real estate has given her great insight as to the misconception between builders and buyers with phrases like “oversized master suites” and “gourmet kitchens.” Apparently buyers have been disappointed with products that are described with such broad terms. So, if these phrases have been a source of frustration and confusion for you, (Continued…)
