Thanks to all attended “Just Because” Party at McMens!

Good Times at Nov 7, 2014 party at the Parrish House near the O’Kane Fire Pits.  LCR Broke out… Ann (my wife) was the evil instigator… She kept running around saying 12 minutes till L,C,R!  Those who had no clue what it was were soon hooked.

SANDPINES REVENGE!

It’s on like Donkey Kong!
MvE’s Poor Man’s Golf Trip III will be heading to play Emerald Valley Golf Course (Eugene) on November 6th then driving to Seven Feather’s Casino in Florence to P-A-R-T-Y, gamble like Rambo and then gather themselves mentally for Saturday morning’s 36 holes at Sandpines Golf Course.  Last year, Sandpines dealt us falling trees and 50mph winds to deal with so this time we’re back……for R E V E N G E ! ! ! !
