USAA

I love my bank.  I just deposited a check using nothing more than a pen (to endorse the check) and a cell phone; which recorded an image of the check (front and back) and sent it off to my bank.

Yet one more reason that USAA Federal Savings Bank is the best.

Pancake Breakfast 2011

In October 2009, I hosted my first Dad's Club Pancake Breakfast at Stonegate.  This year we decided to have the event in the Winter.  I am proud to say that it was a terrific event despite Mother Nature's best efforts to thwart the production with 4+ inches of snow.

We had a great group of volunteers that helped through the entire event.

The event started off a bit slow but quickly picked up steam. Stonegate's own Choralaires performed midway through the breakfast, filling the cafeteria with wonderful sounds.

Many, many sincerely thanks to the Dad volunteers, Kris Landis, Nancy Fitzpatrick, Cathy Rowan, and the SGE janitorial staff.  Also a HUGE thank-you to our sponsors, Indiana Members Credit Union, Pediatric Associates of Avon, Huston Electric, and KellerNiemann for their support of our event.

Also, to the children who helped with smiles aplenty, it was much appreciated.

Everyone has seen the news.  This is the scene from my driveway.
