We crown a slew of winners at club championships
BALES & BORST
The leaves are falling , our handicaps aren ’ t and the end of the season is in sight . However , there ’ s much to report from the past few gatherings .
Thirty-one golfers qualified and participated in the Club Championship at the end of August . The twoday format paired golfers according to handicap and then the next day ’ s play was determined by the first day ’ s outcome . The 2022 CWGA club champion is Alex Carney . The leaders in the three flights were also recognized .
Flight A : Laurie Bales , first place gross ; Brenda Hankins and Jan Watson , tied for second place gross ; Kathy Smith , first place net ; and Susie Taylor , second place net .
Flight B : Sydney Bunch and Kristine Jones , tied for first place gross ; Sue Weakley , first place net ; and Faye Judson , second place net .
Flight C : Sue Oberg , first place gross ;
Victoria Mendenhall , second place gross ; Cindy Lindstrom , first place net ; and Alice Galloway , second place net .
Congratulations to the 14 gross and net winners .
Thank you to the tournament committee : Sharon Kadell , Kathy Stout , Jan Holley and Rose Mason .
The Sept . 1 Scramble awarded lots of winners as well ! Six players tied for first place : Jan Watson , Doni Wilder , Dana Richmond , Leslie Leeper , Coleen Larson and Kathy Harp shared the first place purse . Golf was followed by a delicious hamburger buffet . Nicole and her crew came through in a big way . Thank you so much ! Thank you , too , to the committee who made this happen : Coleen Larson , Kathy Barton and Leslie Leeper .
Our general meeting followed with the announcement of a partial slate of officers for our October election . The slate presented is : Alice Galloway and Janet Ferguson , copresidents , secretary Amy Day and Marikate Book , treasurer Debbie Bray and tournament heads Faye Judson and Kathy Smith . We ’ re still looking for a vice president and another treasurer . Thank you to all who have agreed to serve our membership in the upcoming year . We are grateful and anxious to have others join us . It ’ s a fun way to meet new people .
Don ’ t forget our upcoming Tee Party on Oct . 6 . The shotgun scramble is at 9 a . m ., followed by a horse race and lunch . Don ’ t forget your hats ! There are prizes for best hat !

Sunshine Service
By JOAN VEDDER
Our organization is dedicated to helping people
I have a beautiful granddaughter who has just one year left of study at the University of Oregon . She is doing a dual scenario , psychology and business — a rather odd twosome ?
VEDDER Her summer job this
year was working in a nursery school , not necessarily by choice but it was ‘ available .’ Strangely enough , she has absolutely fallen in love with these little ones and is now questioning her future . Her father ( my son ) keeps telling her to choose a career that pays a LOT .
I ’ m encouraging her to do something she LOVES , no matter what the salary !
As I look around me , I see people equating money with success but I ’ m not sure I agree . Sunshine Service consists totally of VOLUNTEERISM ! We don ’ t receive a salary , nor perks of any sort . We have no funding whatsoever . But boy are we dedicated to what we do for the community-at-large ! You can call any one of us when you need to borrow medical equipment and we will help you .
The whole ‘ team ’ does this service for one simple reason — we like to help people .
With a few generous monetary donations recently , we were able to purchase a third knee-scooter . The two we already have are currently being used by two ladies who broke their ankle about the same time . When a third client needed one due to foot surgery , we figured it was time to invest in one more .
Please remember , and be thankful for , the service we offer Charbonneau residents — at NO cost to you . It doesn ’ t cost anything to be kind .
