Last Sectional of the Year was a great success!

To everyone who attended the Fingerlakes Sectional – Thanks for making our last sectional of the year a success!  The hosts did a great job and the free lunch on Sunday was a nice added touch.

We look forward to seeing you in 2011!

The Fingerlakes Sectional is the last Unit 112 Sectional of the year.  It is one of the most central locations for a tournament for our Unit…It is also the tournament run by the Unit 112 President.

We all hope to see you there!
