The Follow-Up Fortune By invitation, Northeast Florida

A private dinner

A private circle for the owners who shape NE Florida luxury real estate. It begins with a private dinner, 10 to 20 seats.

Begin your application Four short steps. A personal reply from the hosts.

First dinner: November 2026, Ponte Vedra.

The waitlist carries over. Not seated is not rejected. Waitlisted names get the recap, the photos, and first claim on the next dinner.

The table is set either way

The dinner will happen with the guests the hosts choose. There is no pitch and nothing to buy: an evening of introductions around one table.

If this is your room, we would be glad to have you at it.

Who it is for

It is not for anyone looking for a stage to sell from, a vendor list or a room to prospect.

  2. A short personal conversationOne of the hosts reaches out, so you both know it is the right fit.

Your hosts

Christopher and LaShay Queen

Christopher Queen

Chris is a Jacksonville engineer and business owner who has spent fifteen-plus years building software that real customers rely on, and today he helps companies put AI to practical use through Christopher Queen Consulting. He and LaShay started the Circle dinners for a simple reason: the most valuable thing at the table is the other people seated there. Every seat is chosen by the two of them, so the room is small enough for real conversations.

LaShay Queen

LaShay Queen retired from the U.S. Navy as a Chief Petty Officer. She brings that same steadiness and attention to people to the Circle's table. She and Chris host every dinner together and choose each guest themselves, so the evening works as well as the meal.
