Pre-Grand Opening Event with the Mayor

We just finished the pre-grand opening event with Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer here at our new home. He was here to welcome us to Downtown Orlando. There were a lot of people from the Mayor's office, EDC, Downtown Development and guests. I thought it went really well. The Mayor arrived, Bob Allen spoke for a couple minutes, the Mayor took over and spoke for a few minutes then Bob and the Mayor unveiled a piece of artwork that we designed. A large version will stay here in our lounge and a smaller version will be framed and given to the Mayor for his office. After the short ceremony the Mayor and Bob did a quick tour of the building and answered some questions from the media. Then the guests were taken on tours of the building. Tours were very well received and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and were impressed with the transformation of the building. The Mayor remembered the building from it's earlier years and commented a number of times on how great it looks now. Photos will be on the website later today www.ideasorlando.com/ideasnewhome
