Thank you!
A strong finish for 2nd place score of -12 under at the Virginia Housing Don Ritenour Charity Golf Classic! The Classic is truly a wonderful event, with arguably the best outcome, $2.7 MILLION dollars raised. Unreal. Also, congrats to Tammy Neale, CPTD as the new CEO of VH. A pleasure to have met you. Simply wonderful to have been a part of this event, as it was truly a pleasure to meet everyone for a significantly great cause! Finally, thank you Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. for being a wonderful company to be with, and more importantly, a strong family like team. (Bruce is the best coach caddy out here leading like he’s running the cowboys!)

We wish all a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend as we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. How appropriate to share highlights from yesterday’s Grand Opening at Annika Place where US Coast Guardsman Douglas Munro is honored for his sacrifice in saving 500 marines at the Quadalcanal during World War II. A flag flies in his memory in front of the building and the community room is named for him. Annika Place is home to residents who earn up to 80% area median income.

Wow. Thanks, Bonnie Meibers and Columbus Business First, for your interest in Woda Cooper. And thanks to all of our partners and collaboratos in Central Ohio for helping accomplish the mission. Again. Wow.
Columbus Business First's cover story this week is by Bonnie Meibers who writes about Woda Cooper Companies, Inc., its mission and its growth. It's a fascinating look at one of the nation's largest affordable housing developers and how it is keeping a promise its leaders made three decades ago.
