What a perfect day yesterday for The Builder's Group (TBG's) Education Foundation Golf Tournament. Spending the day with board members Amanda Kelsey, Glen Miron, and Kendra Kron raising funds for construction scholarships was wonderful. I won the fundraising "Party Cart" to boot. Thank you to Stu Thompson and the entire staff for all you do for this industry.
