Weekly Goodness - September 26th, 2016
This week's Weekly Goodness is presented by Lombardi's Italian Restaurant. We could go on and on about how great Lombardi's is, but it would not be news to anyone. Year after year they provide excellent food, service, and value and we're grateful to have them as a sponsor.
