In the fast-paced world we inhabit, nurturing the roots of our communities often takes a back seat. However, a community thrives when its members are empowered with knowledge that can pave the path to financial stability and growth. Giving back to the community by educating them about mortgages is more than just a philanthropic endeavor. It is an investment in the fabric of society, fostering sustainable growth, and nurturing a culture of mutual respect and support. When individuals are equipped with knowledge, they can make informed decisions that benefit not only themselves but their community as a whole. Today, we have Shawn Karnes of Arvest Bank sharing how they give back to the community by educating them about the mortgage process.

 NOTE: On Tuesday afternoon, January 18, 2022, Dennis and I jumped on Zoom to have a conversation where my aim was to help Dennis through this ordeal. I told him, "Let's behave as though we're producing a show. We don't ever have to release it, but you may want to." After recording it, sitting with it a few days, he and I both decided it would be helpful, not hurtful. We had planned to release our conversation with Stephanie Heffer (longtime POA employee; now at Arvest Bank) tomorrow on Friday, January 21, 2022, but in light of this tragic event we've postponed that to Friday, February 4, 2022. You'll enjoy our discussion with Stephanie and we hope you find today's conversation helpful. Thanks! Lake DeSoto in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas covers about 200 acres. It's one of the few lakes inside the Village that has a full-service marina. Around 1 pm Sunday, January 16, 2022, there was a tragic accident involving two young adults who were out on the water of Lake DeSoto in separate kayaks. A young man and his girlfriend, out on the water enjoying the third day of a long holiday weekend (Monday was MLK Day). The young man wound up in the water without a life preserver. He perished. And the community rallied, mostly in all the best ways. Our hearts fell at the news. Sympathy toward this poor family and the friends impacted by a young man's death (he was 22 and serving in the military) washed over all of us. Many rallied to support them showing acts of kindness as though they were "family." But they were inside Hot Springs Village visiting - having family time together for the first time since the COVID pandemic began. Today, Dennis and I share the impact of this tragedy. And we offer our expressions of sympathy to those who grieve while appreciating the efforts of the emergency responders and the community. Hot Springs Village is 26, 000 acres of awesome filled mostly with awesome people. That's why we love it so! We appreciate the kindness, support, and attention you give us. Thank you!
