Our best event of the year is always the most fun. We look forward to having a chance to visit with all our friends that we've made throughout the year. Margaux's was a fantastic location with the most scrumptous food. Fun, food, games and lots of prizes were available to all that attended.

Halloween Bash

Our adventure started on the patio at Los Lupes watching others come in as we guessed who was in each costume and wondered if we knew the person under the costume. Once all of our party arrived, off we went to various North Dallas locations. We ended our party at Cape Buffalo where we enjoyed looking at others in costume. This was a great evening for all!

FINZ members head to New Braunsfel to help clean up the Comal River. FINZ entered two teams in the even this year. Turns out, the river was pretty clean but there was plenty of trash elsewhere on the river. This led to a day of canoeing, a tube float down the river, and fun times at the annual BBQ.

Our End of Summer Bash took place on the patio of Jake's Hamburgers in Addison. It was a nice day to hang out for one last lazy day waiting for the summer to come to an end. Stories were shared and prizes were given for the top 3 stories. Jim Gillean was the only entry of the photo contest and walked away with the best photo award. Check out our photos.
