CEO Newsletter
Team,
I would like to start this month’s newsletter by thanking all of our Veterans. We salute you for your dedication to your country and fellow citizens. Thank you for your service.
Please also join me in offering support to everyone in California who has been affected by the recent wildfires. Our teams and client at the Reagan Library are all reported safe, for which we are grateful.
Business Development
I am happy to formally announce a new 5-year extension for the Nashville Sounds that now takes us through 2030 at First Tennessee Park, including an additional $225,000 which we will invest for state-of-the-art POS upgrades!
Great job by our Nashville team which has one of the most fun minor league baseball experiences in the country!
