This week, ClassE wrote thank you cards to businesses that sponsored their golf outing. If you were a sponsor- be watching for your mail! ClassE also got to visit Lester Buildings. 

ClassE also visited Lester Buildings and spoke with Tyler Bennett about his business. Tyler explained the processes and systems implemented at Lester and the benefits of having them in place.
