Sheraton Vistana Villages recently hosted a school supply drive to help support their CFHLA Adopt-A-School Partner Freedom Middle School. 7
Thank you Sheraton Vistana Villages for supporting Central Florida Students! $1,000,000 Steve Dobbins of Harper Building Systems sent CFHLA a follow up after the HEAT Tradeshow which took place last Tuesday, August 22. "I wanted to express my gratitude for the fantastic job you and your entire staff did on the recent HEAT Tradeshow. As a long time member, we typically have a booth every year and always have a great return on our investment. However, this year in particular resulted in a great deal of "Members doing business with Members". Even though the event was just last week, the requests for meetings and follow up work with the Hoteliers for their HVACR and Energy Systems will translate into over $1,000,000.00 in revenue for our company! That ROI cannot be imagined with other organizations! Again, thank you for the superb job you guys did; and continue to do for all of us as members. Regards, Steve" 8
