Upcoming Events: May 9-Professional Only Event June 12 - Monthly Meeting July 10 - Monthly Meeting		PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE FORE! I could have used that phrase many times at our 26th Annual Golf Tournament… LOL. We had another great turnout, and the weather cooperated for the most part. The passing shower did not put a damper on our networking, fundraising, and fun. I truly appreciate all the efforts of the golf committee and volunteers who help make the event such a huge success year after year. Many thanks also to our sponsors who kept the players hydrated and stocked up on new gear. Looking ahead into May, your board is hard at work planning for the fiscal year 2024-2025. We will be compiling the results from your membership survey at our planning retreat and collaborating on new events and opportunities for you to make the most of your membership. I hope to see you at our upcoming Professional Only Event at Lonnie Poole and June Monthly Meeting. Also don’t miss your new Board swearing in at the July Lunch Meeting! Kellie Renzi McDonald York Building Company President 2023-2024
