As we pause from the daily business hustle and bustle for the Thanksgiving holiday, may we not only give thanks for what we have but also for the challenges which has passed us by.

From JKL Associates to you and your family at Thanksgiving – May your home and business be blessed with the goodness of our creator.
Our communities are in great need of building up the worth and value of each person in it. By being generous with your time, talents, resources etc. you give to the world in a way everyone benefits from your generosity.
