On the morning of July 7, 2021, Future Environment Designs participated in the 8th Annual Professional Abatement Contractors of New York (PACNY) Fishing Pro-Am Tournament. The tournament was based out of the Lake Breeze Marina, Kent, New York, and on Lake Ontario. It was an iffy day with a thunderstorm passing through just before the tournament started and the lake was a bit rough with 2-4 foot waves. There were 17 boats in this year's tournament (a nice turnout considering the recent easing of Covid restrictions). They were:

Future Environment Design's fishing team consisted of Ms. Sheryl Esposito, Mr. Matthew Desch, Ms. Veronica Hansen Garcia, and Mr. Angelo Garcia, III. This was the first year that Future Environment Design's team was more than two people. We were thrilled to have Sheryl and Matt with us this year. Most of you have met Sheryl and Matt at the annual PACNY Conference at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY. Sheryl is usually womaning our booth at the Conference. Unlike other Tournament years, because of the rough lake, we went straight out and did not do a shotgun start. Because of the rough water, Captain Tom Murray of the Catch 'N' Hell boat decided to go far out and work our way back. Which was a good decision considering how it turned out. It definitely was our day considering our first catch was the one that won big fish for the day!

We are so proud to finally have our name added to the Trophy and that it only took 8 years to win the trophy. This was the second time, we've caught the big fish the first time was the Second Annual Tournament. The buffet (back again now that Covid restrictions have eased) at the Black North Inn was delicious roast beef with weck bread and horseradish. A great big THANK YOU to Darren Yehl of CTI for organizing this Tournament! Between our daughter's wedding, training beginning to return to normal, and this fishing tournament the summer has been a blessing but is going too quickly. This year is the 6-year anniversary of Article 32 NYS's Mold Law and most everyone's license will be expiring between September and January 2022. Look forward to seeing all of you soon and regaling you with my fishing adventures!
