Denny Lyons
Denny Lyons, a real estate agent in the area in the 1990s, has returned to Ormond Beach and joined Exit Beach Realty, 1650 Ocean Shore Blvd.
After 13 years in the busy Los Angeles area, Lyons said he’s happy to be back. In Los Angeles, he said it could take an hour to go two miles to show a house because of the heavy traffiic.
“This is paradise,” he said. “This is such a relief. It’s less stressful.”
Lyons has stories from L.A., such as the time he went to the wrong condominium and the person opening the door was Don Knotts.
He also helped the singer Pink (Alecia Moore) find a rental home near her recording studio. He described her as being down to earth and cool.
He’s excited to be back in the local real estate market where prices are going up. But there is still a huge price differential between this area and Southern California, and he plans to market to contacts he has on the West Coast.
Security First Insurance Company’s intern class of 2016 collected and donated several months’ worth of supplies ranging from food, bedding, leashes, and money to the Halifax Humane Society. The group of 13 interns chose a nonprofit organization and executed an internal, three-week giving campaign culminating in the donation.
Frank Molinario, director of Human Resources, said the company challenged the interns to raise funds for a nonprofit and left the rest to them.
“By exposing our interns to practical, resume-building experience and offering them insight into local nonprofits, our hope is that they will pursue careers and give of their time and talent in the state of Florida upon graduation,” he said in a press release. “Social responsibility is a core tenet of our company culture.”
Amber Marcoux, community outreach director of the Halifax Humane Society, said the organization was “honored to have been chosen to be the recipient of the hard work, time and dedication of this skilled and motivated group of young professionals and their mentors.”
