Editors Note: 10sBalls _com is so pleased to be part of this event as a small sponsor. Judy Lerner and her partner/daughter Penny run a first rate event. We really find their team completely professional and no one cares and works harder to let the players have alittle fun before all the major stress of playing in a SLAM. The food is amazing and it's always a really fun event. Wall to wall, elbow to elbow FUN and great food samplings. Thanks for sharing this great newsletter and review.
