NAWIC SD Holds 12th Annual Golf Tournament

It’s a birdie! It’s an eagle! It’s a bogey?! It’s the 12th annual National Association of Women in Construction golf tournament. On August 26, 2021, NAWIC San Diego hosted its golf tournament at the Twin Oaks Golf Course. The yearly event raised nearly $17,000 for Rady’s Children’s Hospital and the Future Construction Leaders Foundation.

It was a warm one but that didn’t stop participants from having a tee-rific time. Teams puttered around the course in friendly competition but in the end the golf-father was Team Kohler.

Thanks to all Rancho Mesa par-tees involved; Kevin Howard, Casey Craig, Andy Roberts, and Jeremy Hoolihan. We hope it was an event to never fore-get.

Casey Craig, Rancho Mesa’s PaintOne™ program director, was the guest of Sentry Insurance Company at the Green Bay Packers vs. the Arizona Cardinals game played at historic Lambeau Field on December 2, 2018. Casey is pictured with Dennis Levesque, the Regional Vice President, along with Nic Hernandez, West Coast Underwriting Manager for Sentry.

Casey, as one of only three brokers from California in attendance, was selected for this amazing bucket-list trip based on both his and Rancho Mesa’s relationship with Sentry.

It's Triplets Day at Rancho Mesa

Author, Alyssa Burley, Client Services Coordinator, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc.

Tuesday, November 6, 2018 started off like any other day at Rancho Mesa. Co-workers said their morning hellos, while greeting each other with a smile.

However, it didn’t take very long for an awkward pattern to develop. Not two, but three people showed up to the office wearing the same shirt!

Kevin Howard, Sam Clayton and Casey Craig were accidental triplets for the day. We think they secretly enjoyed the extra attention.
