Our 2018 dinner weekend is history. Comments indicate everyone who joined us had a good time. It was really good to see friends and catch up on their activities since last year.
Alumni Dinner
Our dinner gathering Saturday night at Dunwoody Country Club was great. I won’t repeat the details as you can see the powerpoint slides used for the program by clicking here and a few photos by clicking here. Speakers included Dave Cole, John Caldwell and Bill Cobb plus a host of ad hoc commenters from the audience.
Thanks to Libby for her behind-the-scenes work that keeps the event running smoothly, to Butch Price for enabling us to use Dunwoody Country Club, and to all whose suggestions and support help us keep the event fresh.
Other Weekend Activities
- The bridge group did not hold an event during the dinner weekend this year – not enough folks were available. We understand that the group plans to hold a replacement event during the spring. If you want to play, ask Josh Taylor or John Caldwell to add you to their mailing list.
- The Financial Braggarts Breakfast Club gathered Saturday morning in Dunwoody to celebrate the successful conclusion of their 20th year of competition. Bill Beckemeyer, 2016 champion, turned over the trophy to 2017 champion Tony DeMaria. Tony’s 42.3% portfolio gain bested the S&P 500’s 19.4% gain by just under 23 percentage points – great results in any year but especially this year with a new president-elect and uncertainty over where his policies would lead the country and market at the time when FBBC members were constructing their 2017 portfolios. Congratulations Tony!!
