AUGUST 2025 NEWSLETTER

I'm gonna keep this brief since it's summertime, and many of you are planning an early Friday getaway; what you plan to do over the weekend; or you have a vacation coming up.  I've often said once we hit the 4th of July, we snap our fingers and it's Labor Day.  Well, we're in mid-finger-snap right now, so best to enjoy this summer to the fullest.  And to the dismay of fans of the other 29 MLB teams, Let's Go Mets! 

Thanks for listening, and have a great month!.--MJF
