Gene Beckham is a native of Perry, Georgia.  He is the owner of Business Furniture Services, Inc. in Marietta.  Long active in his community, Gene is a past president of the Roswell Rotary Club.  As he was passing the torch to the next president in 2008, he was looking for a signature project for the incoming president.  At this time, Gene became aware of the Honor Flight Network.  Drawn to honoring our veterans and their sacrifices for our freedom, Gene immediately knew this was something in which he wanted to be involved.

The Honor Flight Network provides WWII veterans an opportunity to make an all expenses paid trip to Washington, DC to visit the WWII Memorial.  Since the first trip in 2008, the Roswell Rotary Club has created Honor Air to continue to provide opportunities for WWII veterans to take this trip, and be honored for their service to our country.  Four trips have been completed, with a fifth scheduled for October 10, 2012.  This year’s trip has been made possible by Coldwell Banker and their local Atlanta-based agents for up to 60 veterans. Listen as Gene tells how this “one time project” has become an ongoing initiative for the Roswell Rotary Club!

For more information about this terrific trip to honor our WWII veterans or to make a donation, click here, send an email to rrhonorair@gmail.com, or call (678) 318-3647.  Contact Gene directly at (770) 971-5424, email him at gene@bfsga.com, or visit his website at www.bfsga.com.

Born and raised in Georgia, Steve Norris earned a degree at Georgia Tech, and started a career in insurance more than 36 years ago.  Initially focusing on life and health insurance, Steve had a client 17 years ago that asked if he offered long term care insurance.  She further explained that the reason she wanted to purchase long term care insurance was so that her two girls would not have to go what she had been going through caring for her mother for the past 7 years.

Consequently, Steve founded Long Life Strategies.  His mission is to help clients design and implement financial solutions to three of life’s most complicated issues:

1)        Out-living your assets

2)        Dying with insufficient assets

3)        Through disability, exhausting your assets

For more information about managing the cost of long term care, email him at steve@longlifestrategies.com, visit his website at www.longlifestrategies.com, or call him directly at 770-833-3496.
