I want to give all of the credit to my hard working, dedicated crew that made so many of the details of this day possible. They made it look easy…but it wasn’t. Marmelita, Judy, Magaly, Deydi, Richard, Poly, Margarita, Rodrigo, Cesar, Emerson, Augusto, Orlando, Pablo, and Shudar, all came to work early and stayed late several days in a row getting ready for our Thanksgiving event. This was a team effort. Everyone contributed above and beyond the call of duty. Three cheers, I’m proud of them.
The 24 acre Amazon Golf Course was manicured, the clubhouse had a new coat of paint, the whole place was spotless, we served over 90 delicious thanksgiving meals, and had everything cleaned up before we went to bed around 10:30. It was a long hard week, and a long day, but it was worth the work.

I am too full of turkey, noodles, dressing, potatoes and mushrooms. What a feast!
We had a feast
One of the best part of my day was meeting new people, and making new friends. That was what made all the hard work worth while.
