What I'm doing these days...



Two words: GOLF TOURNAMENT at Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore, CA. This is NCUD's biggest event for the year. We're only one week away, the tournament is next Friday, the 18th. 

We're still looking for some golfers and sponsors. If you're interested, please let me know. 

For more information you can check out our website: here. 

This year we have some wonderful major sponsors including Community Trust Credit Union, Woodruff Sawyer, Paul Hastings LLP, DLA Piper LLP, Plant A Seed Foundation and Highway Community. 

Our friends at Miner Family Vineyards in Napa Valley has really stepped up to the plate. They will be doing wine tasting on the course along with the wonderful wines from Spring Mountain Vineyards. 

Please be sure to recognize and support our sponsors. 

That said, my blogging will be somewhat limited until after next Friday.
