Tarley Robinson May 2011 Newsletter

Today we are doing our final packing to prepare for tomorrow’s move to 4808 Courthouse Street, Suite 102 in Williamsburg. Our new office is located in New Town, conveniently located across the street from The Corner Pocket, and just down the street from the Williamsburg/James City County Courthouse. You can see our new office in the above photo that shows the signage from the previous occupant of our new space, Bank of America.

Although there is a little trepidation about moving on April Fools’ Day, everybody is excited about our new location. We appreciate all the relationships that have enabled us to contribute to this community and to do what we love doing, helping others.

Susan B. Tarley will be presenting Deed Restrictions for the Advanced ABC’s course for the Central Virginia Chapter of CAI.  This is the third and most advanced track of CAI’s Homeowner Education Curriculum.  Date:  November 13, 2010 from 8;30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  at Brandermill Clubhouse in Midlothian.
