Once again, Tom Stanar ably organized and managed the annual Summer Fun Tournament and Pot Luck Breakfast with help from his wife Linda, Jerry Veazey, an injured Richard Bloom, and Barb and Marnie Chisholm. Artist Nancy Bowerman topped her previous custom prize creations. Richard Sullivan and Wendy Tilden snagged our first-ever tournament sponsor, Dillon’s Einstein Bros Bagels. And Rick Bell and Mike and Karen Miller provided logistical help.
