Today's side-bets winner was Joe M, but alas, he did not draw the black tee. He did, however, contribute his side-bet winnings back to the charitable fund. Thanks, Joe.
Today's program was a Classification presentation by Marisol. Born in Puerto Rico, her family relocated to Humboldt Park, Chicago when she was eight. When her children were young, she relocated to Cary and instantly fell in love with our community. She dabbled in car sales before turning her career attention to Insurance. One of the things she enjoys about her job is that no two days are the same. We are pleased to have her as a member of our organization.
A father and son are out fishing. The boy says, "Dad, how do boats float?" "I don't know," replies Dad. The boy then asks, "How do fish breathe?" "I don't know," replies Dad. A little later the boy asks, "Why is the sky blue?" "I don't know," replies Dad. Feeling somewhat nervous the boy says, "Dad, I hope you don't mind me asking you all these questions?" Of course not," replies Dad. "If you don't ask questions how will you ever learn anything?"
Today's program was presented by Jennifer Kolarczyk, Events and Marketing Manager for Home of the Sparrow. Jennifer updated the membership of some of the many programs supported by Home of the Sparrow for residents located in and around McHenry County.

Their Hope Casino Night Benefit will be held on Friday, April 3rd at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake, and its Celebration of Women Luncheon is scheduled for Friday, May 8th at Boulder Ridge Country Club.

For now, save the date Tuesday, April 28, 2020 for our annual Century Reverse Raffle. Steve is confirming with The Cary Country Club and more information will be forthcoming as details are finalized.
