The LAFD and its hook & ladder truck, made the Ball Drop a multi-story affair. Once the winning balls were measured out, everyone made their way inside to enjoy a wonderful buffet dinner of prime rib, chicken, and pasta. After dinner, Mark Ulano and Tom McCarthy met at the podium to present and honor the Honorary Chairperson Stephen Rivkin. They were joined by Cathy Repola to present trophies to the winners of the golf and poker tournament. The golf tournament was won by father/son duo Ron and James Bartlett. James also won the longest drive and the closest- to-the-hole competitions! We should mention that James had recently just missed the cut to become part of the PGA tour!! The end of the poker tournament was a nail-biter with a head-to-head battle between eventual winner Mark Sussman and second place winner Linda DiFranco. If you don't want to miss out on the fun of next year, be sure to keep an ear out for our announcements. But you don't have to play to have a great day at the course. About 16 dedicated MPSE volunteers helped to ensure the smooth running of the event.
