Thank you to Patrick Casey, T.F. Beck Company, for organizing the
euchre tournament on Friday evening.
Saturday’s educational seminar was presented by Crystal Mountain—

swimming at the water park, movie and popcorn and more!
Good times and memories were made by everyone in attendance!
If you were unable to attend the “Meet MRCA” educational
