Hurricane Ian – Treiman Team | Michael Saunders and Company

October Special Edition Followup

Helping Neighbors In Need

As a follow up to my most recent special edition newsletter, I wanted to share a few ways we can help our community recover and rebuild after Hurricane Ian. You can read more about how to support our neighbors below. I have already made a donation to the Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund and am thrilled that Michael Saunders will be matching the donation.

All My Best,

Dear friends and neighbors,
Our hearts remain with our friends and neighbors, especially in our southern region and coastal areas, who experienced severe damage and losses caused by Hurricane Ian.

We are thankful that all our agents and employees are safe despite some damages to homes. Most of our offices are open and our agents have returned to serving the needs of their customers while being mindful and supportive of those who are trying to get back on their feet.

Helping others is at the heart of our culture at Michael Saunders & Company and we hope you will join us in helping those who have a long road ahead.

To support our communities, Michael Saunders & Company is providing a match to the Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund of agent and employee contributions up to $50,000. The Patterson Foundation is generously providing a dollar-for-dollar match to this recovery fund for every contribution made up to $750,000. Money collected will be going directly to those in need in Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. Click here to help.

There are certainly many opportunities to aid in the region’s recovery efforts now and in the weeks and months ahead through community relief funds such as:

Gulf Coast Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund
Charlotte County Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund
Manatee County Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund

Please visit our MSC Blog for a list of additional organizations that are assisting with hurricane relief efforts.

We are incredibly grateful for the generous spirit of those in our communities and beyond who have come together to assist the many people who need help on the Gulf Coast.

October Special Edition

Personal Note Update

On a Personal Note, this Newsletter is completely personal. First and foremost, I hope this note finds you and your family all well and safe. Sarasota was so fortunate to have been spared a direct hit from Ian. Unfortunately the Northport area and south to Naples were not so fortunate. Our hearts go out to those who are dealing with life and property losses that are devastating.

I was lucky enough to drive to Boca Raton last Monday with my family and ride out the storm there. Driving back I got just a glimpse of the storm’s impact. Now back on my morning walk, there are downed trees and debris in Sarasota, but the sun is shining and the air is a cool 67 degrees.

On a more personal note, I was so thankful for the outpouring of concern. So many of you called, emailed, and texted to check in to make sure I and all those close to me were OK. Thank you for your support! It reinforced what I know all too well – health, safety, family and friends are what are most important.

Closing on a positive personal note. Typically, these 2 very positive milestones would go in my first of the year newsletter summarizing my Top 10. Sharing now that my family is expanding: Nicole and Alex are engaged and Daniel, Cristina and Ruby are expecting a new addition. Some very positive and exciting life events to look forward to!

Wishing you all health and happiness and resilience when confronting hard times.

Please reach out if I can help with anything or you just need someone to talk to.
