PBA GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES OVER $9,000 FOR THE SHEPHERD HOME. 
The weather was picture perfect, the greens were in mint condition, the auction items were a hit, and the networking was a ton of fun.
Special thanks to Family First Federal Credit Union for sponsoring the 2nd Annual PBA Golf Tournament to benefit The Shepherd Home, as well as our other major sponsors - Frontier Communications, MetLife Auto & Home and Don's Original Restaurant & Pub, plus many tee and flag sponsors too numerous to name. Also tops on our thank you list is Penfield Country Club for once again hosting this event and providing a beautiful course, exceptional service and delicious meals for our guests. Without all of our sponsors, partners and of course volunteers, this event would not be possible.
We had over 100 golfers, a few more than last year, and raised over $9,000 for Shepherd Home. The committee gathered tons of great prizes and auction items and everyone went home with a special 20th Anniversary commemorative bottle of champagne.
We look forward to another fantastic tournament next year so mark your calendars now for
July 15, 2013, same time, same place ~ see you there.

In fact, they have a delicious Chocolate Dinner event coming up on Saturday August 25 featuring a six-course sit-down dinner with chocolate in each course and a wine pairing.

KEYSTONE'S FIRE SYSTEM SAVES LOCAL BUSINESS 
"Almost two years ago, my company hired your company, Keystone Security Systems, to install a burglar and fire alarm system. Admittedly, I never thought we'd need it but it was a prudent investment that provided peace of mind and a savings on our insurance premiums. This past spring, at 1:19 AM in the wee hours of the night, a fire in the front office broke out when an employee left a candle burning. Thankfully, the fire alarm system detected the smoke before it became a real fire and called the fire department. It is without exaggeration that had we not had the system we might have lost our business." Richard Sacco, President - Radax Industries, Inc.
Keystone Security Systems provides:
* Same-day service: weekends and evenings included
* 24-hour monitoring
* Locally owned and operated
* A "No False Alarm Guarantee" reduces false alarms and inconvenience
* Certified and licensed security experts

PBA Event Reservation Payment Notice
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible support in attending our events! We appreciate your enthusiasm and participation in our workshops, networking and community events. In the past, the PBA has absorbed any expense for members who registered for events but were unable to attend for various reasons. Unfortunately the cost for holding events has increased and it has become necessary for us to change this practice. Going forward, the PBA will need to charge you for any reservation you are unable to fulfill unless we receive a cancellation notice 48 hours prior to the event. We are sensitive to the fact that last minute schedule challenge occur and we encourage you to send a substitute in your place if you find yourself unable to attend. For all PBA meetings requiring reservations and a meeting fee, we have always extended a "pay at the door" option to our members and guests and will continue to do so.Recently, we added the option to pay by credit/debit card via PayPal on the PBA website. This option will continue to be available as well. Again, thank you for your tremendous support! We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
