Membership Drive (May 1 - October 31): 

Chris Meister won the free membership for bringing in the most new members and chose to auction the membership off as a fundraiser for Home Builders. Thank you Chris! Mike Wenzl won the bid! Congratulations Mike!  

Also, since  Chris brought in 3 new members, he won the chance to toss a pie in a Membership Committee member's face. Chris chose to auction the whip cream toss off. Mike Bonifas won the bid and chose to have Dana Jelinek throw the pie in Jeremy Vlcek's face. Classic!
