FIEWEGER to your friends . Our season ended in October , but some of us will continue to play and brave the colder weather . We hustle to the propane heaters as we walk off the ninth hole !
Our annual performance , ‘ On the Road With The Niners ’ was dedicated to the memory of our dear friend , Pat Tewell . We gave the performance to our Niners at our End of the Year Banquet , hosted by Joanna Sawyer , Dianne Reiter and Cathy Loffink . They provided a gourmet banquet along with delicious desserts . Two performances to the community followed and were sold out .
Thanks to Joanna Sawyer for her 18th year of direction and ‘ patience ’ in teaching us the dance and working with us on our skits . She has already selected the theme ‘ It ’ s Five O ’ clock Somewhere ’ for next year . She still has room for the dance team and skits . The committee sign-up book is in the Pro Shop Niners Cabinet .
