Christmas Party

Don't forget to sign up for the annual Christmas Party/Luncheon which will be held on Friday, December 19th. We will be collecting donations to our local Food Bank, and/or an Animal humane society, so bring some extra $$ to donate to the charity of your choice (or both!)

DECEMBER 2008 NEWSLETTER

A Note From Our Prez

December already! Only a few weeks left in 2008 and the end of my first year as President. I want to sincerely thank all of you for everything you have done to help me learn how to do this job. It has truly been a fun year but I couldn't have done it without your help!

Moving forward we have some fun golf to look forward to this month. The first Tuesday, December 2nd, is Ace of the Month and your last chance to qualify for Ace of the Year playoffs on December 9th. Don't forget the Christmas Party on the 19th. Our dining room will be decked in Christmas tradition, thanks to Kay, Pam and Sally. We will congratulate Ace of the Year, Player of the Year, Most Improved Player for 2008 and everyone who won birdies and chip-ins during the year. This year Christmas cash donations will go to our local Food Bank and/or Woods Humane Society Animal Shelter.

The December Board meeting kicked off some planning for the 2009 Grape Escape and early planning for the year ahead. I'm looking forward to a great New Year!

Merry Christmas to All!

Maureen

SLO County Women's Tournament

There was a very nice article in the Friday, Nov. 14 Paso Robles Press about the SLO County Women's Tournament, plus an interview with our very own Jayne Donkin, who, by the way, was the very first Champion in 1979, and has played in every tournament since! Amazing.
