This week's speakers were our own Larry Harris and Brad Sharp representing Hall Park (formerly Hall Office Park). They currently have about 200 companies represented in the Park with roughly 9,600 employees. They are currently working on an expansion which will bring the Park close to 3 million square feet of office space, and are looking at future developments which could double its size. Larry and Brad described the current amenities available at Hall Park and many imaginative plans under consideration for the future. They remain committed to offering a park-like experience and their emphasis on Art for their tenants and the public on their 160 acre property.

Thought For The Week:
“I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.”
Inviting a friend or business associate to Rotary is a valuable gift you can give someone that will enrich their lives, and it doesn't cost you a cent!
