February fundraiser hosted by Stephanie Loper on Ono Island on Friday, February 26, 2010:
The "UBGood" scholarship fund was suggested and is a wonderful cause!!!
For those of you who may not know...the "UBGood" phrase was on the license plate of the late Orange Beach principal, Mr. Baker.  He passed away a couple of weeks ago and the "UBGood" slogan was made into a scholarship for local kids.
