We would also like to thank Tom Novack for his tireless dedication to St. Pius and all of its related causes. Thank you to the good folks at St. Pus for giving us the opportunity to continue to honor Carl's legacy.

6th Annual CSW Golf Outing
The sixth annual CSW Memorial Golf Outing was held December 20, 2010 at Laurel Springs Golf Club. It turned out to be a beautiful day and we had a great turnout.
Congratulations to Billy Dyson this years champion! We again planted Japanese maples at hole 13 in honor of Carl driving that green and for our beloved Uncle Tee. Thank you to Zack Wright for handling the planting duties. I was especially pleased to have all five previous champions participate in this years event. Special thank you to the Cato, Iraggi and Dyson families for their generous donations and also to Mr. Sunny Park for his continued generous support. We missed him this year! And how could I not forget the exceptional artwork of Mary Iraggi for this years t-shirt design.
As always, CW

CSW Memorial Wrestling Tournament a Success
The inaugural CSW Memorial Wrestling Tournament was held January 3, 2009 at St. Pius X high school. This was a middle school tournament with seven schools participating. The middle school wrestling program is a valuable tool to improve the overall quality of the St. Pius varsity wrestling program.
The meet was a huge success and very well attended. Special thanks to Michele Wright and all her hard work in bringing her idea to fruition. Job well done, Michele.
Thank you as well to Coach Wayne Higginbothem, Father Dan, and Tom Novack over at St. Pius, and the folks at B&B Awards and North Georgia Graphics.
We appreciate all the teams who participated in this our inaugural event. It was obvious they were disciplined and well coached and we look forward to seeing them at next year’s event. We appreciate your determination and spirit. Keep up the hard work!
Another great tribute to Carl, and the obvious impact he had on everyone’s lives, was the overwhelming show of support from the memorial fund volunteers. Everyone’s attendance was appreciated. Hope to see you all next year.
As everyone should know a hawk sitting is proof Carl is with us, still protecting and watching over us. So what better way to end the tournament then for Carly Wright to see a Hawk sitting on one of the basketball goals when she left the tournament, reminding us how much he loves us. Simply amazing!
