~ROD OFTE, WI Grassfed Beef Coop.;
"Thank You and your staff (all of them) for an outstanding WGA Golf Event again. I know the hard work it takes to put this event on and the endless hours preparing for making it such a great event. You and your staff never cease to amaze me and the rest of the WGA supporters in making the WGA event a success. It is a privilege to be a part of the WGA."
~STORM WALSVIC, Supervalu;
"Great outing, Brandon! All WGA folks did a fantastic job of organizing everything."
~TOM VEITH, Crystal Farms;
and especially "Great job by Dave, Cheryl, WGA Staff and Interns, and all the Sponsors and Volunteers! We did it, but it wouldn't have been possible without each and everyone of you! All who attended know it was a Great Day, Great Weather, Great Golf, Great Fun and Great Fellowship. It was topped off by the news that we were victorious in the Debit Swipe Reform Battle. Thanks to all who wrote letters and made calls. If you didn't attend - LOOK AT ALL YOU MISSED! The next big gathering of Wisconsin Grocers is the Innovation Expo this Fall. Plan to attend and watch for Registration Details!"
~ WGA Chairman, BRAD BROOKS, Affiliated Foods Midwest.;
"The Wisconsin Grocers Golf Outing is a great way to network with other people in the industry. We look forward to not only participating in the event, but also to help sponsor the event. If you have not participated in the WGA Outing in the past, mark your calendar for 2012. You won't be disappointed. "
