Let’s all thank CoVantage Credit for being our presenting sponsor. We couldn’t have this event without them. Dave Koenig Menasha WI will be piloting Shades this weekend. We are so grateful Dave and his family survived the tornado this week. Dave lives only a few blocks from all the destruction. Thinking of all those impacted by the tornado.
