Chamber and Member Events

Ribbon Cutting for Guardian Public Adjusting, LLC

Guardian Public Adjusting is your local public adjuster. Owner, Clay Bozeman has lived and worked within the Crawfordville community for over three decades.

Guardian Public Adjusting, LLC is a public adjusting company that is committed to working with you, and on your behalf, throughout the entire property insurance claim process. Guardian Public Adjusting takes the burden of the claim process off the shoulders of property owners by thoroughly investigating damages, writing estimates, negotiating, handling on-site visits, and reaching a fair settlement. As public adjusters, they can handle your insurance claim from the start or re-open underpaid or denied claims. The insurance claim process can require more time and energy than most policyholders care to deal with. Not to mention trying to decode the coverages within your homeowners or commercial insurance policy to see what applies. Why cause yourself the undue stress of dealing with numerous phone calls, emails, and meetings? Most property owners don’t know they have someone to advocate for them during the claims process and that’s exactly what public adjusters do. Without the representation of a public adjuster, property owners are often left with denied or underpaid claims. Get the proper indemnification you deserve and call Guardian Public Adjusting to handle your insurance claim! 

Networking Luncheon at Sherlock Springs

Catered by The Kast Net
We missed a few today at our luncheon due to the ugly weather we were experiencing but despite that, we still had 72 attendees not willing to miss Ms. Thu’s Bourbon chicken and Lo Mein, and of course her delicious cupcakes, served at the beautiful Sherlock Springs venue. Thank you so much Rich Abrams and Thea Voran for getting everything ready and hosting us!
We announced a lot of new members at last month’s luncheon but wanted to share the businesses joining after that event – Sue’s Art Workshop, Attack – One Fire Management Services, and HCA Florida Primary Care. Sue Scott was present and shared her upcoming beginner painting classes “Paint just like Bob Ross” April 6th and 27th, and May 7th at the Community Center. Cost is very reasonable at $65 for a 3- hour class, materials provided. Check out Sue’s Facebook page for more information.
Our March members to date are: GutterWerks, St. James Bay Golf Resort, Whitney Hancock, Capital City Home Loans, Eddie Evans, Oyster Boss Oyster Company, LLC, and Art by Cheryl. Nancy Paul invited everyone to come out to the beautiful St. James Bay Golf course, and if you are a current member of Wildwood Golf Course you will receive a special discount at St. James Bay; you can play pickle ball, rent their facility for events, or simply enjoy a wonderful meal at the Crooked River Grill – their new chef would love to cook for you! Eddie Evans has been an Assistant State Attorney since 1992 and is running for the County Judge’s seat; he currently serves as General Counsel with responsibilities in all six counties of the Second Judicial Circuit including Wakulla, Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Liberty, and Leon.
Mary Wallace recently hung up her insurance hat recently and started a new career with Capital City Home Loans. She is looking forward to serving the community as your hometown lender. Cheryl Swift has been attending our luncheons for a long time now as a realtor for Waypoint Properties and has given many of her paintings as drawing prizes. Her specialty is abstract art in alcohol inks. Please join us for her ribbon cutting April 7th at her studio and check out her artwork. More here
