Good afternoon CLC and I hope everyone is having a great weekend and getting used to writing “2026” on things…. It’s probably far too dangerous to comment on the college football playoffs (or the season), so I won’t venture into that territory, other than to note that the W&L Generals finished up 7-4, including a win over traditional rival Hampden-Sydney, ending up third in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Exciting news in Pensacola this week with SailGP establishing its North American training base here at the newly completed American Magic High Performance Center (built by one of our good GC clients). If you’re asking yourself, “What’s SailGP?” – watch this for a few minutes<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWchUF-gfVI&t=139s>. &#128522; Our monthly CLC conference call will be, Monday, January 12, 2026 , starting at 11:30 A.M.
