IFMA Boston celebrates with Sips & Splits and golf classic

Dorchester, MA The IFMA membership committee decided to change it up for our spring members only event and threw a bowling party, Sips & Splits with IFMA Boston, at the Boston Bowl, 820 Morrissey Blvd. Geo Olwell of EcoLogic and Colby Fillippelli, CFM of JLL @ Dunkin Brands hosted the evening which was a huge hit for all that attended. We look forward to seeing you in the fall at our next members only event!

 

 

IFMA Boston had another stellar day on the course for this year’s IFMA Boston Golf Classic on June 19th at the Red Tail Golf Club, 5 Bulge Rd. in Devens. This year’s tournament was sponsored by Shaw Contract—we thank them for their support! They were joined by C&W Services, Timberline Construction, VVA Project Managers, William B. Meyer, and STV | DPM. The team with the lowest score was Callahan Construction and equally as important is the team that “won” for most honest was Fitzmeyer Tocci. Other winners include:

• Longest Drive-Women: Maureen Cawley

• Closest to the Pin-Men: Eric Libby
