A Big Wow to all of you from Angie and Bev!
If you didn’t make it this year you missed out on a lot of fun. We had a beautiful day, great participation, lots of support and lots of laughter and fun on the Lake Course with blended teams of 9- and 18-hole ladies.

We sold 89 raffle tickets, 21 Hole Sponsorships, 17 teams of ladies played, and a few joined us for the fun and lunch afterwards. We had over $1,700 worth of donated items given as play prizes, through raffle, and as door prizes.
Gross Winners: Brenda Simmons, Sarah Taylor, LeeAnna Tucker, Kathy Hasten
Net Winners: Cassie Fiscus, Johanna Bernal, Annette Wood, Debbie Hanselka
Best Dressed: Dianne Gibson, Karen Fennell, Joan Rendl, Barbara Heller
Raffle Winners: Halina Kramer quilt, Judy Villegas magnum wine, Mary Brenner fall basket, bottle of wine.
Too many door prizes to list…but glad you all had fun with it.
Gretchen is smiling down on us all…It was a beautiful way to honor all who have been touched by breast cancer and raise money for Project Mammogram for our area.
A great big thanks to you all for your support in donations and checking in ladies, help in setting up, taking down, and every little thing. This is not possible without you all, no matter how big or small.
Thanks, get your Mammograms, and see you next year!
