14 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER Men’s Club ■ From Page 10 all who came in contact with this out- standing group of golfers. ■ Golf educational and social events were again hosted during the winter months and were well attended. The feedback from participants was that these are worthwhile and should con- tinue again each winter season, espe- cially the rules seminar by Jim Gib- bons. The chili contest was also a hit and will be repeated again. ■ The tournament committee — Ma- jor tournament activities, namely the Double Elimination Match Play was re- designed to improved timing of matches, and the Charbonneau Cup was reinvent- ed as a season-long points competition and tournament. Increased communica- tion with monthly notices on the bulletin boards and on the webpage significantly improved the year-long game and tour- nament schedule. Laurin Larsen and his team of volunteers met these challenges, and others. Laurin has volunteered to November 2019 lead this team again in 2020. October marked the end of the golf season for golf events and tourna- ments. Many members have gone to warming climates in the southern states, while a few of us stay and play winter sports, including cold weather golf. The members in the southern states can keep posting their scores to GHIN. While we here in the NW can’t post, we can work on developing our short game and enjoy the company of a few friends who also stayed home here in Charbonneau. We are fortu- nate that our green and yellow courses are open year around; this year the red course may stay open too. On Oct. 11, the Charbonneau Men’s Club hosted a season-ending social event for about 100 members and their guests to share a catered dinner, cele- brate a few golf awards and be thor- oughly entertained. A buffet was pro- vided by Wilsonville Catering — tri- tip, plus all the trimmings. Entertain- ment was provided by Hart Keene, a professional mentalist and illusionist (hartkeene.com to learn more).

Combined, my services offer holistic solutions for life’s most difficult times. I’ve found that people who are grieving from loss of a loved one or health issues feel afraid, sad, lonely, and don’t know where to turn. Grief is a journey. Through coaching I offer help, hope and support during trying times. Grief is personal, and relief comes from sharing with a patient, skilled, and gentle listener. I offer strategies for coping and self-care. Combined, Reiki Massage and life transition coaching offers physical, emotional and spiritual support. My services are provided in person at our River House Healing Room, or via phone. I will travel to your home for convenience, or if you are housebound.

   In addition I offer individual day spa retreats including lunch, guided meditation, journaling and Reiki, for a transformative experience (gift certificates available). I also offer group workshops.
