Family is proud of Alexandria

Talk about it

To the editor:

Once again, the Alexandria Cardinal Athletic Foundation Cap Paciotti Memorial Golf Tournament was a huge success!

As the daughters of Cap Paciotti, we feel we’ve been remiss with our “thank you” to everyone who works so hard organizing it and then making it happen. It’s long overdue, but the “Paciotti girls” want everyone to know how much we appreciate everything the foundation does for sports in Alexandria. We are proud to have grown up in Alexandria and if you knew our parents, you know how happy they were to have lived and worked in Alex, and to have raised the three of us there!

Dad and other forward thinking business and community leaders formed the Alexandria Cardinal Athletic Foundation in 1994. Since then, the foundation has raised more than $100,000 for equipment, uniforms and the Citizen Field lights, as well as many other things.

Alexandria is an amazing town and again, we want to thank everyone involved, especially Mark Jenson, Mike Johnson, Bruce Leland and Ron Rebrovich. We invite you to come out and join us next year and if you can’t, we encourage you to donate a few dollars to the foundation and the future of Alexandria.
