Greetings!

I was very excited to go to a Dodger game the other night! I don’t remember being that excited since my Little League team went together and sat in the right field pavilion when I was 10. I remember as a kid, it was the anticipation of enjoying a Dodger dog and peanuts, heckling the opposing outfielders, trying to get a wave started, cheering for our favorite players and being out late on a school night that got me so excited. Why was there such anticipation of the game this week? I realized that the one component that made the game so exciting when I was young was the fact that we were all together!

“Together” is the key word. Over the last year we haven’t really been able to be “together” with anyone but family. But more face-to-face meetings with clients and vendors, outdoor entertainment opportunities and traffic patterns back to pre-COVID levels are all indications that we are quickly moving out of pandemic mode and back into a more normal day-to-day routine…and that feels really nice!

We have a GREAT opportunity to all be together on Friday, June 18^th for the 49^th Annual EBPA Golf Scramble at Brookside Golf Club in Pasadena, CA. Please join us as a single, as a foursome or as a sponsor. Breakfast, shotgun-start (fingers crossed), on course snacks and beverages, lunch and prizes – it will be a blast and we get to do it TOGETHER!

To register as a player or sponsor look for the EBPA Golf Scramble notice on Facebook, LinkedIn or our newly updated EBPA website. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Regards,

Rick Sutherland
