Message from the Founder Fore!! One of the 2 official Accurate Serve® golf teams were in full swing last week. We had the privilege to play in the 7th Annual Lakeland Bar Association Golf Tournament.  The AS team consisted of Beau Charlet (me), Ty Hurner, Derek Keating and Cameron Cole.

Message from the Founder This is how we do it!! Last month, our team was able to get together for our annual franchise retreat. Our 2020 retreat was cancelled due to Covid-19. Our 2020 retreat was scheduled to be at the UF v. FSU football game but that game actually never was scheduled, due to Corona. So, 2021 same plan, just a different matchup. The team traveled to Tallahassee, FL, minus the team members that work in that city, on a Friday afternoon/evening.

Message from the Founder Founder’s Message Back to School Special As a dad of 3, I know the most important role I play is that of father. Trust me, being your process server is a pretty close second.

Is it because everyone is keeping themselves busy now w/ the ease of covid restrictions? The old adage states, time flies when you are having fun, right? You know what I find fun? Work.
