From left to right, 3rd place went to Sandy Schroeck AIFD, 2nd place to Brent Leech AIFD, and Eulogio Baldonaza AIFD enthusiastically took First Place! A special thank you to Trustee Brandy Ferrer AIFD for hosting the competition and to Trustee Charlie Groppetti AIFD for stepping up at a moment's notice to set up the Body Flower Boutique.
