This year, it will take place on Saturday, November 30, 2024 from 10:30-3:30. It is a lot of fun and you will earn 2 Volunteer points for next year! Let Annette Wood know that you want to come help! Text her at 504-491-1399.
Plus you will get lunch on Saturday! And because we do this, COK provides the Club Championship Luncheon to us free of charge. Annette is the talent and spearheads this, the rest of us provide support. Can you spare a few hours away from your company (this might be a good excuse to get away, LOL)?
