A 7:50 pm a motion was made by Mike to nominate Ron as the new treasurer as Daron expressed a desire to step down.  We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Daron for setting us up with our account and taking on the responsiblity of treasurer.  The motion was seconded and passed.

Vegas:  I've checked with Justin and he said that the packages for Vegas are running out.  There are about 30 left.  We've discovered an issue with the link and the best way to book a package is to call John Defreitas at Panda.

Sup gentlemen,

As usuall, we had a blast at our annual golf tournament. Thanks to Ron Amasol for opening up his home for the 19th hole festivities. Attending today were Kimo Acopan, Ron Amasol, Mike DeSmet, Reggie "Sebastian" Maldonado, Daron Matsumura, Danilo Nicholas, Dane Noguchi, Rico Obrero, Dio Pilar, Lionel Ramos, Daniel Rosado, and me, Alton.

The scores were Alton-80, Lionel-85, Daron-92, Dio-93, Mike-99, Kimo-99, Rico-100, Rosie-101, Dane-109, Danilo-109, Ron-119, and last but not least, Sebastian-119. So the best score gets paired with the worst score, with the 18th hole being the tie breaker. Since Ron had a 7 and Reggie had a 6 on 18, Ron gets paired with me.

The pairings were me/Ron-119, Lionel/Sebastian-204, Daron/Danilo-201, Dio/Dane-202, Mike/Rosie-200, and Kimo/Rico-199. Because me & Ron scored an 11 and Kimo & Rico scored a 12 on 18, me & Ron are the winners and earn the bragging rights for one year.

Aloha and see you all next year.

Shimo
