This past weekend we were fortunate enough to participate in the 2020 Birdies for Boys and Girls Golf Tournament hosted by Northern Star Generation.  It was an excellent opportunity for us to give back to the local community as the proceeds from the tournament go to the Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida.  We had an excellent time at the event, and look forward to participating again next year.

I hope everyone was able to get out and vote today.  A little election day history for your reading enjoyment:

Why a Tuesday in November? The answer stems from the agrarian makeup of 19th-century America. In the 1800s, most citizens worked as farmers and lived far from their polling place. Since people often traveled at least a day to vote, lawmakers needed to allow a two-day window for Election Day. Weekends were impractical, since most people spent Sundays in church, and Wednesday was market day for farmers.

With this in mind, Tuesday was selected as the first and most convenient day of the week to hold elections. Farm culture also explains why Election Day always falls in November. Spring and early summer elections were thought to interfere with the planting season, and late summer and early fall elections overlapped with the harvest. That left the late fall month of November—after the harvest was complete, but before the arrival of harsh winter weather—as the best choice.
