2010 Golf Outing a Success
Posted by: | CommentsJust a quick thank you to everybody who was involved in the 2010 Golf Outing! Although Tony and Jack spent a lot of time and effort putting this years’ event together, it was worth it! We raised a nice chunk of change for Autism Speaks, and it seems like everybody had a great time. Joe, Anita and Shou did a great job with the ribs and chicken, too!!! We’ll post some team pictures soon, but for now, here’s a picture of Tony, Heather and their girls with Louie Lipps from the dinner:
Sloppy Joe Showdown
Posted by: | CommentsI think everybody had a great time at the 2010 Sloppy Joe Showdown. I’ll have some more pictures and video posted shortly, but here are a couple of pictures of the winner, Brad Scuillo. He ate 29 Sloppy Joes in 8 minutes. Really. The first picture is during the competition. He looks a little better posing with the trophy 
Look for more pics this week!
