What a lovely time we had at the Books & Bellinis Luncheon with Rochelle Weinstein, author of The Mourning After.   We laughed, we cried, we met some lovely people and we educated a whole new group about GSD.  Thank you to Rochelle for sharing the afternoon with us and to everyone who helped make our event a success.  

On Monday, June 17th, Sandy Hodes, dad of Samantha & Katie Hodes (GSD1a) played 120 holes of golf at Stonewall Links Golf Course in PA. This was the most played in the event with more than 30 participants. Based on the pedometer, Sandy and his partner Ed Tancer took more than 76,000 steps, walked in excess of 36 miles and the effort equated to walking up 156 flights of stairs. It took 14 hours including a short 1 hour lightning delay at the 98 hole mark. He hit the first shot at 5:22 am and finished 54 holes by 10:45 am, 72 by 1 pm, 100 at 5:37 (after the delay) and 120 by 7:20 pm. Congratulations to Sandy and thank you to everyone who supported his effort.
