Updates From Us

One Team. One Community.

A Whole lot of Support.

Hi there, hope your day has been good to you! This November’s BAMA Bulletin is filled with Manufacturing Resources, Employment Opportunities, and updates on Upcoming Events. Please take some time to review and mark your calendars for the exciting happenings in the Manufacturing Community!

The Kelly Memorial Golf Fundraiser was a HUGE Success! Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and supported us during the planning. This year’s Golf Fundraiser was held at the Plantation Palms Golf Club’s lush grounds, where everyone was welcomed by their friendly staff and enjoyed a beautiful day on the green. We are already planning for next year’s fundraiser, so stay tuned!

It’s officially the Holiday Season! As you plan to spend time with family and friends, let’s not forget about those less fortunate. RJM is hosting its annual Open House on December 13th, Sponsored by Ingersoll Cutting Tools. We invite you to donate an unwrapped toy to Toys for Tots. Your generous contribution will bring smiles to children’s faces this holiday season.

As always, A BIG Thank you to our Volunteers, Committee Members, and Sponsors for all they do for us daily.

See you in December with more updates!

Kindly,

The BAMA Team

Cheers to a Successful Event!
