Mr. Potter reports the funds will be used not only for parenting education program delivery, but also to promote exercise and good nutrition. Program participants will be encouraged to include daily exercise and proper dietary guidelines in their lifestyle as well as model positive behaviors for their children.
Our goal at The Family Partnership Center is to reach 2,200 local at risk parents and children during 2011. Our primary mission is to strengthen families. Thanks to Sweetbay, these parents will not only be better equipped to deal with current economic hardships, but the families will become stronger and healthier to create a safe and nuturing environment for their children.

The firm’s president and founder, Susan Moseley cited, ”A demand has emerged for a local firm specializing in the unique wealth challenges that face professional athletes during and after their career. Moseley Investment’s team of experts is able to recognize and implement financial strategies that are exclusive to the lifestyle needs of professional athletes.“
”We congratulate Joe on this exceptional accomplishment and are proud to have him on our team,“ said Byron Shinn, President and Managing Partner of Shinn & Company.
