For those of you that do not know what LCR is, it is a dice game. (Brief description: LCR, or Left Center Right is a very simple dice game for three or more players. It is entirely a game of chance. You start with 3 dollar bills and if you get an L you give the person on left a dollar, etc until all dollars are in the middle. Last one with dollars wins the pot. Lots of fun, and no thinking.)

- Potluck dish
If your last name starts with this letter you bring the following item.
- A-F - Appetizer
- G-M - Entree

We are pleased to announce one of our Chapter's most successful outreach efforts. Our Golf Programs and Services Director, Del Sayles-Owen responded to the request from women employees at the accounting firm of CohnReznick who were interested in learning the great game of golf. Working closely with the supportive staff at Haggin Oaks Golf Course, we were able to design a "Get Golf Ready" program for ten corporate sponsored women that met their schedules and promoted team building. Over the course of five weeks in September and October, these ladies learned the basics of putting, chipping, pitching and the full-swing from one of Haggis's most popular instructors, Don Pottle.
Although the participants were challenged each week learning this humbling game, there were also some fun times. What is golf without the joy and camaraderie at the 19th hole? These ladies were able to meet, greet and celebrate their accomplishments with Del, President Sunny Mills, Membership Recruitment Director Fern Lukka
and member volunteer Deanna Frandsen.
Poupak Abtahi*, Susan Balko*, Karin Duvekot*, Lana Grymaylo, Raechel Jordan*, Olga Lazarova*, Beth Mullen, Jeanne Peterson*, Lisa Schoepflin, Laura Wilder*, and Jennie Yu.
We also are proud to announce that CohnReznick, having supported these ladies, is now a valued Par sponsor! CohnReznick LLP is one of the top accounting, tax, and advisory firms in the United States, combining the resources and technical expertise of a national firm without sacrificing the hands-on, entrepreneurial approach that today's dynamic business environment demands. For more information on CohnReznick you can visit the website at www.cohnreznick.com.
WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME!

Camellia Cup will be a nine-month long match play league beginning in March and ending in November that will play one day a month. We are hoping to have four teams. The number of people on a team will depend on how many people are interested. Anyone with an established handicap index is welcome to sign up, but you must play to a 36 max course handicap.
You can sign up to be member of the team or just a sub. We will be using this format to pick the 12 people to comprise our 2015 Cal Cup team which will be held at Rancho Canada in Carmel Valley on October 24 & 25, 2015. The team needs to be announced by the beginning of September, so if you want to try out for Cal Cup donate that when you sign up.
The four captains are:
Marcia Whiting, Vicki Philpott, Leslie Lang and Charlotte Wells.
The captains will get together and pick their teams from those interested. he league will be run by Kris Corbridge. The format will be one month of two-person better ball, one month of foursomes (alternate stroke), and one month of singles. This will rotate until all teams have played each other.
In order to make the Cal Cup team, you must play in at least four matches by the September deadline. Points will be assigned to wins, ties, and losses. If there's a tie for the last spots on the team, there will be an 18-hole match play playoff to determine the winner. The 12 members of the Cal Cup team will pick their captain from among those who made the team.
Dates for the matches:
| Saturday | March 21, 2015 | Turkey Creek, 8:30 shotgun | | Saturday | April 18, 2015 |
| | Saturday | May 16, 2015 |

| Are they crazy? 100 holes of golf in one day? |
Charlotte Wells and Leslie Lang or "Team Langwell" are doing a "golf marathoner" in the inaugural "Sacramento Golf Marathon" on December 22nd at Haggin Oaks Golf Course. The money raised will support the Morton Golf Foundation that is established and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. Both Charlotte and Leslie are raising funds to help them with their "marathoner", so contact them if you can help.
Playing 100 holes is a LOT of golf on one of the shortest days of the year but maybe some of you will plan for watching them try it! |
| If you're feeling like playing 18 holes of golf on January 1, 2015, you can! The 2015 Polar Bear Classic tees off with a 9 a.m. modified shotgun at Teal Bend Golf Course. Green fees are $48 and includes cart and range balls. Want to play? Let Kris Handsaker know by December, 19, 2014 that you'll be there. |
