The new location is comprised of three suites totaling just under 2,600 square feet and will feature a large therapy room, two smaller therapy rooms and multiple offices that will be leased to additional occupational therapists, reading specialists and behavioral therapists. Eric Massey of MSC Commercial served as the club’s president in 2015 and represented the organization in the deal, donating his entire commission to help further the club’s efforts.

“As a longtime member of The Sertoma Club of Greater Sarasota, I have personally seen the incredible difference this organization has made in the lives of countless children,” said Massey. “I was honored to assist them in this milestone occasion and am excited to see the work of rockstars like child therapist Pamela Little Plank benefit children struggling with speech issues for years to come.”
