Meet Keith Huffman ! Our new Friend

Keith Huffman is seen here wearing a pretty special Polo Shirt that he was kind enough to let me have a hand in designing.

The first time I came in contact with Mr.Huffman was last year when the folks at the B.R.O.C were putting the finishing touches on their Annual Golf β›³ Tournament down in Elkin, North Carolina.

Here is a bit more about the Organization!

By the time that I stumbled across this group of dedicated Community leaders they were heading down the home stretch of their 2023 Golf outing. I was able to jump in at the last minute as an additional Sponsor and mentioned to Keith that if they could remember us in 2024 we would like to get involved in a greater manner.

Sponsor Banner for 2024

   We are excited about this group and the work they are doing in and around their Community. I encourage anyone that lives in the area that might be looking for a group to get involved with to do a little research on them.

Our Team for the Big Day! Alan Knight, Chris Carter, Marion Harris and myself.

   Playing a round of Golf β›³ at CedarBrook Country Club last Wednesday was just the icing on the cake πŸŽ‚. We were part of the early Morning πŸŒ„ Shot Gun start and the day was full of memorable moments.

Landed just beyond the 18th green while we were playing #18

  A number of Media outlets had reported on the amazing efforts of retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle. Since Hurricane πŸŒ€ Helene struck the area, Biffle has used his helicopter 🚁 to fly rescue missions in and out of the region. Getting to see Greg land his bird a few yards away added a layer to that story.

Here is the other sleeve and the color chosen…

Two years are now in the books πŸ“š and the future is never promised but I sure hope that are paths cross again.
