We just got back from this year's Spring MASA (Missouri Association of School Administrators) Conference at the Lodge of Four Seasons down at the Lake of the Ozarks. As an official business associate member of the association, we look forward to this event each spring as a time to touch base with both current and potential customers.

It was great to catch up with the administrators, principals, superintendents, and people that make education in Missouri. We had the chance to talk to school district officials about our discount voice and internet services we can provide over the Department of Education's E-Rate Program.

Dream Factory Poker Tournament

On Friday, April 14th, Socket was a sponsor for the Dream Factory Poker Tournament which took place at Cub Impulse to benefit the Dream Factory of Central Missouri. For the last nine years, the annual poker tournament has raised enough money to provide dreams to children with chronic and critical illnesses.


A brave group of Socketeers made a valiant late-winter dip into Bass Pro Lake this weekend. Unfortunately, we can report that despite the unusually warm weather we had on Saturday, the water in Bass Pro Lake was still pretty cold!

The good news is that this swim was for a great cause, as our group braved the waters for Special Olympics Missouri.
