IN LOVING MEMORY
On Saturday, May 17th the GTBAO community suffered a loss. At that time we realized we did not have a way to honor those who had passed on the GTBAO site.
If you know of a GT Family member who has passed on and you want them recognized on the GTBAO website, please email
and we will add them to our "IN LOVING MEMORY" section of the site.

GTBAO REAL ESTATE SEMINAR INFORMATION
In February, GTBAO hosted a Real Estate Seminar. A lot of information was presented and ideas for starting your investment portfolio were discussed. Many of you who were not able to attend and you expressed interest in the information presented.
To view an example investment scenario CLICK HERE.
At the seminar retirement options were also discussed. To access some commonly asked questions about retirement CLICK HERE.
As you probably know, GTBAO cannot initiate an investment club. However, if you are interested in starting/joining such a group visit the blog link below and denote your interests. This will give the facilitators a better idea of where the interests lie and the numbers to accommodate when planning an organization and an initial meeting. You can also use the forum to ask questions that you may need the answers for before a meeting can be planned.
So, if you are interested in talking to other GT Alums who may want to create one, please CLICK HERE to visit the blog.
