Metro President Frank R. Coppola III of Coppola Brothers, LLC is all smiles when he is with Ollie, the self-proclaimed favorite employee or was it dog? I still don't always understand barking - either way though - Mezzie approved.

Frank Caccavale is participating in the #SkipLunchChallenge to raise money for Morris Habitat for Humanity but more specifically the Roxbury High School Structrual Design & Fabrication Lab where Frank works and his students help out with projects. Any donations raised via Venmo will go directly to Roxbury.

 

The challenge is for you to skip having lunch (or coffee) out for 1 day and donate the money you would have spent on that directly to Frank's program. The Structural Design and Fabrication Lab where Frank teaches provides students opportunities to implement skills previously learned in Engineering, Design, and Technology classes to build a house, in partnership with Morris Habitat for Humanity. In this Skip Lunch Challenge, the $15k fundraising effort will go toward a caster and rail system that will allow them to move the homes while being built to make them more weather tight.

 

Together, skipping just one lunch or coffee out, we can help fund the trade schools who are doing the very important work of training our future builders!

NEW THIS YEAR - GOLF CLINIC

3:00 to 5:00 PM

Can't make it to the entire golf outing but still want to be involved? Try the Metro Golf Clinic - new this year! This clinic will take place on the same day as our 6th Annual Metro Golf Cup but is only a two hour clinic as opposed to a full day of golfing.

 

Why you might ask? Though most people enjoy spending the day drinking on a golf course hitting a round of 18-holes - it is a skill and does take time. Some might not have the time or perhaps golf is not their forte and would rather be playing basketball or poker. Either way - here is a way to sharpen up on your game, have a fun time and participate in the festivites in a different way.

 

Don't let FOMO (fear of missing out) get you and instead sign up for the clinic.

 

You will get golf tips and personal instruction by a PGA Professional in a variety of skills, putting, short game and time on the range. With the clinic you will move around in a smaller group through various stations to sharpen up your game.

 

Then you can join the rest of the players afterwards for cocktails and dinner.

 

Clinic Only: $80 per person

Clinic & Dinner: $150 per person
