8:30 PM                        3rd Annual Food Drive for Mandarin Food Bank

Rick will hold an in-depth discussion concerning the new HB 151 Installation of Tracking Devices or Tracking Applications legislation that took effect October 1, 2015.  He will also discuss SB 298 that was recently filed to amend HB 151.  As there is still much confusion regarding how, if, when, and can we still use GPS tracking, Rick is traveling from Tallahassee to help us all sort it out.  So bring your questions and notepad as this will be a discussion topic you won’t want to miss!

Special Request:
For the last week, I have been attempting to make arrangements with the State Attorney’s Office in Jacksonville to have a representative attend the meeting to discuss and answer questions regarding the new law from their prospective.  If there is anyone that can assist with facilitating their attendance, please contact me.
 
 

3rd Annual Food Drive for the

Mandarin Food Bank at St. Joseph’s Church

Having first-hand knowledge, the Mandarin Food Bank is severely understocked with non-perishable food items for this time of year.  They desperately need help. 

About Mandarin Food Bank:

Their mission is to provide emergency food and clothing to those in need in the Mandarin Community. They are a ministry run entirely by volunteers.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two hardest hit holidays for people needing food. Mandarin Food Bank is always there to help the community.
