We welcome our new executive board

Another successful year for the Niners is finished and a new one is slated to be better than ever . The Niners ’ Happy Hour Event in December was the perfect way to celebrate 2023 and make a toast to 2024 .
LOFFINK As a part of advancing to a
new year , the Niners voted in the 2024 Executive Board . Cathy Loffink and Marsha Wadsworth were voted in for another year as president and treasurer , respectively . The Niners are excited to welcome Bonnie Bohm as vice president and Chris Sutton as secretary .
Bonnie was born and raised in Michigan , married her high school sweetheart and lived in Florida for 15 years before moving west . She graduated from Oregon Health & Sciences University with a BSN in nursing . She worked as supervisor at an adolescent drug , alcohol and psych rehab , became director of nursing at a dementia facility and , lastly , was director of nursing services for home health until
a career-ending meeting with a tree 10 years ago . She loves woodworking , laser-cutting and engraving , lathe work , heat-pressing and jewelry-making . Her work is wonderful , just ask JoAnna Sawyer , who has been a recipient of her artwork . She joined the Niners three years ago and quickly jumped right in and became the rules chair two years ago . She absolutely loves the Niners ’ friendly , welcoming atmosphere and is proud to be a part of it .
Chris was born in Honolulu , Hawaii and attended the University of Hawaii for her freshman and sophomore year . She then spent her junior year at the University of Oregon as a

national exchange student . She enjoyed it so much that she returned as a senior the next year as an out-of-state student and graduated from the University of Oregon . It was at the U of O as a junior where she met her husband-to-be , who was a graduate student at U of O at the time . She says meeting him was an added incentive to return to the university as a senior and receive a bachelor ’ s degree in business administration .
Chris has three grown children . She has two girls who graduated from the University of Oregon and a son who graduated from Oregon State University . She jokingly says she has two ducks and a beaver . All her children are married , and Chris has three grandsons and one granddaughter between 4 and 14 years who she really enjoys spending time with .
Chris started playing golf on and off when she retired from the banking industry as a corporate officer . Her background included operations , credit , branch management and trust services . Besides golfing , Chris enjoys ballroom dancing , going to fitness classes , learning pickleball and traveling ( especially cruising ).
Although Chris lives in Lake Oswego , she enjoys coming to Charbonneau for the enjoyment of the game , meeting others and the beautiful golf course here . Golf , she said , is the perfect game to grow into . You could take lessons forever and the game will never be the same each time . There ’ s always something to learn . Funny how golf and life have things in common .
With so much these ladies can offer and their endless enthusiasm , the Niners are bound to have a bright and exciting 2024 .
Our January event is an excursion to Top Golf on Tuesday Jan . 9 . Look for the flyer and sign up online or in the Charbonneau Golf Club Pro Shop .
A final mention , the clinics the Charbonneau golf professionals are putting on are worth attending . The hands-on instructions are great and the lunches from the Market Café are wonderful . Check them out and watch for other happenings from the Charbonneau Golf Club .
The new year is upon us , so let ’ s celebrate all that we have and share in this special community where we live and play .
