August the 8th

August the 8th is quickly approaching. I hope all of you had some good success with getting the hard part out of the way over the summer.


Please contact me if you will not be attending. It is a heck of a drive to get to Ridge 
  from Myakka City.  My father really needs the help during this time of the year as I do not have much time during the school year to help him.
