Also, Joe bragged for catching the largest fish of all his friends during a recent guy's fishing trip to the Dacks.

Maria bragged for her dog, who won Women's Bitch and is now a new champion!

Krista went to her office and the shoe sale over weekend with her dog. Even her dog is excited for the 10 of 9 whistle because the golf tournament is so close.

Brian fined for his 30th birthday over weekend. Happy Birthday, Brian!

Chuck's daughter recently graduated from NYU at Madison Square Garden with her MBA!

They recently toured the Farmer's Food Center to get a better feel on the viability of the green house project. No definite project yet and still open to ideas, but green house is being review closely at moment.  Jack encouraged anyone with an idea or interest in helping to attend the meetings.

 

Chuck gave us a golf update- we are only 2 Wednesdays away from the tournament. We have sold all 25 teams already, but still need some sponsorships. We have to have them by this week, as we must have signs printed and can't change them after a certain date (read SOON!!!) Remember, sponsorships and raffle tickets are how we make our money on this event, NOT golfers. We actually don't make ANY money on golfers. Also, we are looking for someone who has a decent camera and a little skill to take pictures of each golfing team, so we can send them a photo of themselves after the tournament in the thank you we send off.
