HOST AN
EVENT

I wanted to share with you all that I had a meeting with one of my largest customers and 24 of their salespeople today who said the event was awesome and the paddock tours were a huge hit. Many of these people have never been as close to the horses. Also, they raved about the Winner’s Circle group pictures. One of the jockeys stayed back for the group photo. And finally, the food was a huge hit!

Day at the Races- 06/11/2023

Again thank you for your help in organizing a terrific event last Saturday. Our young men and moms truly enjoyed their afternoon at the park. Seeing our sons getting excited during the races was just priceless!

We truly appreciated your help and flexibility on Saturday; we were so distraught when our bus broke down. Yet, with your help, we were able to relax and enjoy our afternoon once settled in the beautiful Directors Room.

We will all keep a very fond memory of our adventure at the Santa Anita Park!
