Jim Rogers of Brown & Brown of WA shot a hole-in-one on the 8th hole at Everett Golf and Country Club on Tuesday, July 1. Any golfers dream come true.

BUT the story gets even better! Jim's wife Trish was playing golf that day at the Seattle Golf Club at the same time. Trish also shot a hole- in-one that day - on the same hole. And at about the same time.

A truly odds defying coincidence!

Big thanks to Bruce Dickinson of Rainier Industries for hosting our August 20 luncheon at his corporate HQ in Tukwila.

At this special meeting, lunch was served under a Rainier Industries manufactured tent. The delicious Moroccan inspired food was provided by Suzanne Cameron of Cameron Catering. The beautiful rose centerpieces were from Ed Shinbo of Acacia Florist.

During the last half of the meeting, Execs were lead on tours of the Rainier Industries facility. All were very impressed with scope of the operations and found the How It's Made tour fascinating.
