Randy and Robin on their hard work and
efforts in helping to get justice for Region 20. As well as a shout out to our
new favorite judge, the Honorable Joseph J. Farah. Thanks for giving a shit!!!
The Bikin for Burns Bowling Fun-Raiser was again a
great success. With more than 50 people there this is quickly becoming one of
our best events. Thank you to Audrey for organizing and running it this year
(also one of the highest scores). You did an amazing job.
