NOVEMBER 9, 2016 A SALUTE TO MILITARY VETERAN ENTREPRENEURS MESSAGE Dear Loungers, As the end of the year approaches, I can't help but to reflect on the growth of our Life Lounge SD family. This will be our fourth 'Lounge' gathering this year. We also hosted other events including briefings on wealth management/personal investing, the business of booze, finding funding for your business and golf. Our plans for 2017 include additional meetings with some of our partners like Sage Executive Forums, Kieretsu Forums and the Chairmen's Roundtable. Tonight, we celebrate Life Lounge SD's official FIRST birthday! Thank you all for your continued support and participation.I could not have been able to create the platform if it wasn't for you! As our dear friend and fellow LLSD member, Brian Smith says, "You can't give birth to adults." We will continue to grow and evolve as a special community in the years to come. This evening we also pay homage to our active military service members and veterans who inspire us through their endless dedication to serving their country. I'm excited to present our incredible speakers tonight. Both are veterans who have served our nation and then created amazing business opportunities earning them millions of dollars. I suspect much of what they learned in the military assisted them in realizing their dreams. FALLEN/MISSING WARRIOR'S TABLE You will notice (at the venue) a table set for one person in the corner. This is to recognize and show respect for all of our fallen or missing military service members who aren't able to join us in celebration. PLEASE do NOT disturb this table. But, perhaps you might raise and tilt your glass in remembrance of their brave souls. Thank you again for all that you do to make our Life Lounge family great! Tim Owens Chief Lounger
