What a great time we all had at the first ever EBCA Fun Day at the Arsquos game July 17th Our spot in the Heroesrsquo Deck was pretty sweet The weather was spectacular and we had a great crowd with us Didnrsquot hurt that the Arsquos hit six home runs in crushing Seattle 10-2 There was a good deal of discussion at the game about doing it again next year most likely in lieu of the golf tournament again I welcome your input and commentsPlans are in place for our 3rd annual Paint Nite happening already this Wednesday August 14th from 6-9pm at Zio Fraedorsquos I hope you can make it Our board decided a fun event in August would be a great way to finish the summer before we all head up to Tahoe for the 26th annual CCNC Aug 27thEBCA Membership this year has been on the rise Our thanks to Membership Chair Lynna Harrison for her
