You all know (or know of) Deanna Russo, my fellow manager here at Buffalo.com. On Saturday, Aug. 15, Deanna's not-for-profit organization, Crusade Against Impaired Driving, will be holding its second annual one-pitch softball tournament.
A few of us put together a team last year...and I think we had 7 people show up (we were not very strong in terms of communication and organization). The tournament was a success, raising $3,000 to fight drunk driving, but our team got manhandled and was bounced out of the double-elimination event after two games.
This year, it would be nice to get a team put together well ahead of time...so if anyone is interested in playing, please let me know...it would be great to put together a Buffalo.com team of 12 or 13 people and to help support Deanna's cause (check out the Web site for the full story behind the organization).
I really don't care about winning or anything, but it would be a chance to have a little fun and for everyone to get to know each other better.
I was thinking about this a little bit, as well. We have occasional Buffalo.com events for the interns to get together - the recent tour, the holiday party, last year we had a mixer out at Ilio DiPaolo's...would you be interested in more stuff like that? It could be as structured as a Buffalo.com team in a bowling or softball league, or as simple as an email note for anyone who is interested to meet at a local watering hole to hang out. I am definitely open to suggestions on this topic, as well.
So if you're interested, or have any ideas...share your thoughts in the Comments section!
