I am pleased to announce that Aquatherm Industries will be hosting its <b>2014</b> <b>Distribution Center and Master Dealer Kick-off Meetings </b>in Orlando<b> </b>January 22nd – 24th and will tentatively take place at the <b>Coronado Springs Resort in Walt Disney World. </b>We will be updating you with a detailed agenda as the date gets closer, but we wanted to reach out early to all of you so you can add this information to your calendars.

Aquatherm Industries celebrated its <b>21st Summer Sales Retreat</b> this year in beautiful Costa Rica. Attendees stayed at the RIU Guanacaste for five nights and took advantage of all Costa Rica had to offer. Some chose body surfing for hours in the water in Tamarindo, a local surfing village. Others plastered themselves at the mud baths and enjoyed the hot springs among the lush surroundings. Most notably, half of the group decided to go whitewater rafting only to spend more time in the water than in the boat! Our farewell night was spent having dinner together at the Octal Restaurant where everyone exchanged stories about their week and enjoyed one last night together. Another great retreat in the books!

On to the numbers! The top dealer spot for the month goes to <b>Mark Naylor</b> <b>Solar Specialists</b> with 357 collectors sold in July – congratulations Mark! In 2nd place is <b>Naylor Solar Specialists</b> who had a great month with 164 collectors. Well done Terry!

<b>SunChaser, Inc. </b>ended the month with 155 collectors sold for a solid 3rd place finish for the month. Way to go Brandon!

<b>Mark Naylor </b>is the Top Salesman for the month with 47 sales. Amazing month Mark!

<b>Terry Naylor </b>and <b>Brandon Chase</b> tied for 2nd place with 22 sales each. Congratulations gentleman! And, in 3rd place is <b>Bill Park</b> with 12 sales for July. Nice job Bill!

On a sad note, we were very sorry to hear of the loss of John Dunn, owner of Discount Solar in Orlando, who passed away earlier this month. John had been in the solar industry for the past 8 years selling and installing Solar Industries and was just appointed a Master Dealer this past year. Discount Solar was a great company and John will be missed. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
