Good evening SC-E family & friends!
We had a brave few who attended the Greenville Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run last weekend – thank you Tom & Michelle and Jimmy & Susan! Don & I sure wish we could’ve joined you, as do many others who were out of town.
I hope everyone reading this was as thankful as we were this past Thanksgiving Day. We joined friends and family for a wonderful meal they prepared, which Don was so very grateful for, instead of my charcoal offerings :)
We have something going on almost every week, so be sure to join us for as many of the events as you can. We always welcome your friends and family, along with all SC Chapters too!
With it being the holiday season, and getting colder every day, please double check with us if you’re planning on attending one of the events below for any last minute changes. We want to keep everyone safe while having as much fun together as we can!
