What a fantastic day! Almost 150 people and businesses came together yesterday in support of Operation Purple Heart Truck to keep our mission going and it was a huge success. We couldn't do it without you!

Over the next few weeks we will be reaching out to you all to thank you personally while also starting to work on next year's event. The date is Monday October 5th and it's going to be even better!

It may be all about helping to keeping Herb's rolling memorial going to all of these awesome events each year but it doesn't hurt to have some fun in the process.

There will be a putting and chipping and a great lunch from Mell J's North RVA from 10:00am until 11:30am, fun times golfing from Noon until 5:00pm with games on the course brought to you buy Trimmer Construction Services LLC. and Oak Valley Landscape & Hardscape, LLC with some more great prizes all cumulating with an awards ceremony with even more prizes, an incredible raffle and dinner from Outback Steakhouse.

We have over 25 raffle items valued at about $6000!!!!! Even if you are not participating in the golfing you may just want to come by for the reception and get you some of these raffle tickets.

Will you join us in welcoming Oak Valley Landscape & Hardscape, LLC to the list of our supporters. They will be hosting at hole #1 in this year's event and we can't wait to see what they come up with.

Does your upcoming project list include a patio, firepit, pool or other hardscaping spaces? Give Oak Valley Landscape & Hardscape a call and when you do make sure to thank them for helping us out.
