CHRISTMAS GATHERING – Thursday, December 10th.
We’re hoping to put together a dinner theatre event! An opportunity to get together and see a show! I am asking anyone who is interested to register so I can determine the approximate size of our group and make arrangements for tickets. This is not a commitment, but I will need to get a general idea before contacting the theatre group!

League opportunities have met the needs of participants and accommodated all playing abilities by offering a variety of locations, course types, formats, days and times, etc.

Making Connections – A Chapter member who best aligned with and capitalized on golf industry opportunities which made a difference in the Chapter.
