Community Saturday

Campaign season is usually very busy, but today took that to a new level. I really enjoyed with visiting with hundreds of our residents. Keep in mind, on my mind the entire day was my son, Brandon. This was the day that he would be taking his flight-test and becoming certified as a private pilot. It was hard to focus at times knowing he was "up" there.

The day started innocently enough. We had an early "cold" soccer game for my 10-year old goalkeeper daughter. It was exciting because the two first-place teams played each other. It was exciting to watch out team play the best game as they pulled out a win 3-1.

Our first event was the Grayhawk Spring Festival which was held at Boals Elementary. The HOA was kind enough to invite all the candidates. Some of our campaign team joined me as we met many of the homeowners. This was an example of a community creating an atmosphere that welcomes the residents to get out and meet each other. The HOA should be congratulated for being practive. The food was great and the kid's activities were really fun (I know, Layna was there playing!)

We quickly left Grayhawk to meet up with some of the volunteers who were visiting residents by going door-to-door. From there, we rushed over to another group of volunteers who were setting up a tent at the Kyle Lee Memorial Golf Tournament, where we sponsored a hole.

The day did not end there as we again sped off (at the legal speed limit :-) ) to the Panther Creek HOA social at mourning dove park. The HOA, again, was very gracious in inviting all the candidates to their event. Panther Creek really made it a fun event by having a crawfish boil, music and activities for the kids. Turnout was very high! Way to go HOA board and Social Committee!

The day did not end there; we were not able to stay until the end. Party of my campaign team stayed at the crawfish boil and the rest of us went to attend a meet and greet at Hunters Creek. THis was one of over 25 meet and greets.

I want to close by saying how blessed Val and I are that we have so much support and help. This campaign is very time consuming and we could not do it without your support and help. Thank You!
