Women’s Club General Meeting and Awards Luncheon – 2016 Highlights and Pics

By Sue GraVette – President Elect
More than 50 women attended the year-end meeting on Wednesday, November 2^nd. The agenda was chalk-full of fun and serious business. As the social hour and delicious buffet lunch wound down, a video began playing. Set to the tune of “It’s all About the Bass” Don Hadley rewrote the lyrics to “It’s all About the Golf”. Lead singer, Melinda Rauch, nailed it with a hilarious song about leaving housework behind and heading to the course. Photos from activities throughout the year were included as well as shots of Melinda, Nancy Moore and Sue GraVette acting out various household chores. A huge thank to all who participated, but particularly to our renowned producer, Patric Miller.

The day’s agenda included a Memoriam to women members who passed away this year. Harriet Smith, Irene Cook, Gay Holland and Ellie Dumdi will forever be remembered as active members of Shadow Hills.

On the business side, the attendees unanimously passed updated By-Laws and Standing Rules. In addition, nominations for board positions were set to a vote. Suzi Creech, President-Elect and Nancy Pollard, Secretary, will join the board in 2017.

League Chairs presented awards and honors to 9-hole, 18-hole, OWGA, Most Improved and Women’s Club Champions. Winners will be listed in the December Newsletter.
