Next week on Halloween will be the last day to support RPAC for the drawing to win an Echo Show, Nest Thermostat, & Echo Dot. We are about $1,300 short of our goal for 2017. Tickets are $25 per or 5 for $100, please buy tickets for the drawing before you miss out. 

The photos from last weeks Installation Party turned out great, please  click here to view them. A big thank you to our sponsors for this event. 

Lastly a quick reminder, please watch your email because we will be sending out Annual Billing on November 8th.
