911 Remembrance

Martin says, “If you never attended one of these events in the past three years, I truly encourage you to attend this year. It is a great opportunity to reward your staff by reserving a table of eight and inviting them. By sponsoring a table of eight, you help us to cover our expenses. I have made a guarantee in the past that if you are not moved and/ or don’t enjoy the evening then I will refund your money. No one has ever asked for their money back. Thanks for your support in the past to one of my favorite events in Duncanville that is near and dear to my heart. With the things in the news today, I hope that we never see a tragedy as we saw on 911 again. I hope that we never forget that day and how it changed our lives forever.”
