The 4th Annual Truel Watts Memorial Golf Tournament was held Saturday, June 27th and was a success! We did not raise as much money as in previous years but we made money so given the state of the economy that is GREAT! We had twenty-one4-man teams and 30+ sponsors. Many local businesses donated door prizes so that each player received something. Our biggest prize was a digital camera donated by Aaron's Lease and Sales. Breakfast came from Hardees and was provided by the ladies from Bank of America in Prattville. Lunch came from Front Porch Grill: grilled chicken, potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw, rolls, sweet tea and everyone's favorite...banana pudding. We were also fortunate to have Truel's wife, brother, son-in-law and 2 granddaughters in attendence this year. Everyone had a great time! Thanks to everyone who participated.

Truel Watts was a dear friend of mine who passed away 4 years ago. I began this tournament as an opportunity to remember my friend and and all the wonderful things he did for our community and for me personally. He was the city planner here in Millbrook for many years and did a great deal of good work for the city. He was also very involved in the local Kiwanis Club.

This tournament is in it's 4th year and raises money for his favorite charity, Jean Dean Reading is Fundamental. This program provides reading material and instruction to at-risk youth in the area. Last year thanks to our many sponsors and players we were able to donate $4,000 to this wonderful charity (our best year thus far...despite the bad economy). Here are the details and if you would like to particiapte or be a sponsor contact April at (334) 285-0800 or email: sunestate@bellsouth.net

Guys & Girls,

Well, we just returned from our last trip to Destin/Miramar Beach for the summer and it was awesome. We were fortunate to spend the majority of September and the first weeks of October at this awesome beach. The first day we were there on Thursday, Sep 11th, the beaches were completely closed and the waves were probably 12 to 15 ft tall & covering the entire beach area. It was a sight to see! By Monday, Sept 15th, the beach was back to it's usual level prior to the hurricane that wiped out Galveston hundreds of miles away. The next few weeks were spectacular with sunsets to match. Our favorite time of year for the beach...fewer crowds, empty restaurants and great temperatures. We made our normal rounds....sunset at Seaside, drinks at the Red Bar, steak and lobster at Pandoras, movies at The Rave, salads at The Hard Rock, and of course, afternoon snacks at Pompano Joes.

How tempting to just stay down there and forget work and financial crisis. But, not yet. Maybe, someday, we can consider such a move but right now, business, family and commitments must be our priorities and besides if we moved down there full time it would not be as special anymore!

PS. The picture is of my granddaughter who absolutely LOVES the beach.
