AVMS at Homes For Heroes Groundbreaking |
|
On February 3rd, the Del Webb AVMS had the honor of participating in an event sponsored by Pulte Homes and Building Homes for Heroes. They partner to provide mortgage-free homes to disabled Veterans. This event celebrated the groundbreaking on a new home for Army Sgt. 1st Class Lucio Gaytan, his wife and two children.         Pulte, and all of their trade vendors, donate the land, materials, and labor to make this happen. This was mortgage-free home number 77 in Florida. There was great attendance at the event including East Manatee Fire Company, Manatee County Sheriff's Department, and several community leaders. Also speaking was Retired Marine Sgt. Heath, himself a recipient of a home from this program. It was truly wonderful to see these organizations recognizing the sacrifices our service men and women make for our country. |

Member of the Quarter Q2 2023: George Becker
George Becker is our newest AVMS Member of the Quarter.
George has been an AVMS member since 2022. His attendance at our events has been consistent since day one. George is always one of the first members to raise their hand when volunteers are requested for an event. Whether its ‘Flags across Del Webb’ or stage setup and breakdown for a show, he is always there working.
George was born and lived in Yonkers, NY. He graduated from Husson College with a degree in Finance and spent most of his career as a trader on Wall Street. He moved to Louisville, KY to take a financial position in 2000 and met his future wife, Jan Ahrens, there. "We moved to Lakewood Ranch in 2021, said George. "I am an avid University of Louisville fan, as seen from my attire, and also the NY Yankees. I started playing golf about 3 years ago and am ready for the tour. I volunteer for AVMS because it is a way to give back to the brave men and women who serve or have served our country."
Del Webb Lakewood Ranch Association of Veterans and Military Supporters welcomes you to our website.
As our Del Webb community started to develop in 2017, a small group of residents had the idea to start a group to support our military, their families and our community.
Although we're still growing and developing, we already have a couple of years of meaningful, successful events that have touched many lives. We will continue to grow with our community's support.
Our dedicated group of men and women finds ways to support our active soldiers, their families, and military retirees in need, while ensuring that our community never forgets what our troops do for us.
Please help us to make this resource a tool for all our active members, potential new members, and our Del Webb community by giving us feedback on what you like and what could be improved.
