2009 Coed Playoff Champs

Morning,
Wanted to give another quick thank you to our Softball team not only are we 2009 Coed Softball Champs but we also won the playoffs this last Sunday. What a day, we played 4 games in one afternoon, started at 4:10 and didn't get home till 11:30. Thanks so much to all the people who came out and cheered for us on Sunday, a special thanks to Jeff's family for always showing up and cheering and also for the super cool signs that they made. Once again softball season is over and it makes me sad to think it will be almost a whole year before we all hit the field again, I always miss our team over the winter. Then again we could pick up Fall ball..... who knows!!

2009 Coed Softball Champs

Hey all,
Not that I want to brag but Farina's is for the 4th consecutive year the Coed Softball Champs of the City of Berkley, I just wanted to take a minute and give recognition to our team that worked so hard. Thank you to Chris and Shannon our 3rd base 2nd base duo, Shari and Doug our power couple in the outfield, Kaity and Ange that filled in and pulled us through some tough spots. To Eliott and his superhuman speed, Shelly for here shortstop skills, Justin for his extra long reach, Lauren for her enthusiasm and Jeff who's always willing to play even with a hangover. Thanks to Kim for always coming out and cheering from the pine pony, to Justin's family for making up a portion of our cheering section, to Lauren and Leslie they will cheer as long as there is beer. Shawn thanks for keeping me calm when I get hyper.
An extra special thanks to John for putting off retirement for another year, we wouldn't be the same team without you.
On behalf of Karen and myself we are so proud of all your hard work and we can't wait till next year, when she will scream at us again without mercy. ( lol )

Robina Rhapsody

Hello all,
Wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about an amazing group of women who work on behalf of the community of Berkley called the Berkley Junior Women's Club. This is a group of gals who do non-profit work to better the Berkley community, they host events such as the Fire Prevention Open House and Breakfast with the Bunny as well as help out at various different functions throughout the city. Karen and myself became members just over two years ago and are proud to call these women friends. The BJWC also hosts the Robina Rhapsody which is held every third Thursday throughout the summer and Farina's is a proud sponsor of this event.
The Rhapsody is a summer concert series featuring live music and lots of fun activities for the kids. This summer's concert dates are July 16th, August 20th and September 10th. July features Robin Moore and the Northstars, August brings to us the Aaron Vaughn Band and in September we are calling all kids to come out and enjoy the Candy Band.
Music starts at 6:30 and the event is located at 12 mile and Robina in the heart of downtown Berkley, on behalf of the BJWC and Farina's Banquet Center we hope to see ya there!!!

Thanks for reading
Brooke
