Blackston FINANCIAL ADVISORY group is our 2025 co-sponsor
We've Trusted Them to Advise Us for 10+ Years
When author Frank A. Lancione moved to The Villages, FL he was asked by a website to write an article on what seniors who were newly retired should look for in a financial advisor. Frank interviewed a number of well-respected local financial advisory firms and published his article. But all along, he’d had a secret agenda.
Frank and his wife Diane were looking for a company to advise them on the best way to manage their own retirement savings. It was no contest. They chose Blackston Financial Advisory Group. Over the ten years they’ve worked with Blackston, they’ve always been extremely happy with their decision. David and his team care for you like you were a member of their family.
Author Lancione is proud to have Blackston Financial Advisory Group as a co-sponsor for four of the plays that we are doing here in The Villages in 2025.
