Hello 9-Holers:
 
We are well into our summer season, but we have a lot more golf to play.  Happy July 4th to all - hope you have good family time and time to reflect on our great country and the freedom we share.
 
Our 9-Holer’s 4th of July float is complete.  Hope you all can come out and watch the parade.  Watch for the red truck pulling a 4th of July Happy Birthday cake to our country with a crazy eagle waving.  Thank you to the ladies who came out to assemble the float - Allison, Janna, Susan, Suanna, Barbara, Brittany, and Betty.  You guys rock!  Also, special thank you to Nancy Bufone and hubby for storing our turf grass for a full year; Gail and Randy Acker for letting us borrow their workers for some much-needed muscle; Dorothy for the use of her trailer to build the float on; and, finally, Suanna and Keith Tumlinson for allowing us to build and store our float.  It takes a team, and we have the best!
 
We had 88 ladies play in the Sleeping Bear tournament.  What a great turn out!  Dianna Gibson did an amazing job putting the teams together, managing the communication, and organizing the tournament for us.  Gail Heathington, Laura Archibald, and Vicky Rollins did a super job in getting raffle items and organizing the items at the Sleeping Bear luncheon.  Dedra Mergle and her team were our table decorators, and did a fantastic job.  Sharon Hileman, along with her team, got all the gift bags thought out, bought, and assembled.  There were many faces who helped and we appreciate all your hard work and efforts, from selling raffle tickets and checking in golfers, to just being there in case we needed you.  Thank you all - you made our tournament special and very successful.  Working together is the key to building a successful group and you are the best!  There were many of you out there who donated raffle items and donated time.  Thank you, thank you!
 
Next tournament is the Mama Zia Member/Guest on August 28 & 29.  The details are still being worked out so stay tuned.
 
We had a great social event at Stacy Barr’s house.  Thank you, Stacy, for opening your beautiful home to us.  It was so fun.  Our next social will be July 18^th, 4:00 - 6:00pm, at Joy Hill’s house 134 Pinehurst (Alto green #11 par 3).  If you have an even birthdate, bring an appetizer to share. Hope to see you all there.
 
Our July schedule will only have two play days due to events at the club.  July 4th week and July 10th week is the 18-Holer’s Kachina Doll tournament week, so we will not be playing golf.  We will play ACE Day with lunch afterwards on July 17th.  Be sure to RSVP to Cindy with your member number if you are staying for lunch.  The menu will be Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocado.  July 24th is our “away” golf day.  We will travel to Cloudcroft to play the 9-hole course there and have lunch at the BBQ place.  We will let you know the details of where to meet and who is driving, so stay tuned. You will be getting an email from Dianna Gibson soon.
 
The 9-Holers have always helped the 18-Holers with their Kachina Doll tournament.  This year Janna McBee is in charge of getting volunteers to help sell raffle tickets, so if you are interested in helping her, please let her know. She will need volunteers for the week of July 10th.
 
The AL9GA, ALGA, & AMGA Board members still have Reverse Raffle tickets to sell.  The Flog Trac (Golf Cart) Reverse Raffle will be Aug 19^th, and your $100 ticket includes food, beer, wine, music from DJ Pete, and a chance to win all decked-out golf cart.  The golf cart is on display in the Pavilion.  See any board member: Cindy Delay, Amy Fox, Susan Holmes, Diane Graham, Pat Parker, Dianna Gibson, Janna McBee, Deb Wight, Janis Harkins, Leslie Wall, Gail Acker, Sandy Barron, or Joy Hill - any of us will be happy to sell you a ticket!
