WANNA GET AWAY?
Based on your responses to last year's Member Survey, we are making plans for a 3-day Girls Golf Getaway from May 13-15 at the Naples Grande Beach Resort. This would include 2 nights and 2 rounds of golf for under $500/ double occupancy.
At this point we just need an estimate of how many members would like to sign up in order to reserve enough rooms.
Please reply to MICHELLE FLOREA if you'd like to be put on the list, and if you would be bringing a guest or rooming with another member. An official Registration link will go out shortly requiring a cash deposit for our Welcome Reception.
More details to follow.

NEW MEMBER GOLF EVENT
On Saturday Feb 5th, we held a golf Meet & Greet with our Chapter Board leaders welcoming in new members at the Bridges at Springtree GC. We enjoyed a fun get-to-know-you golf round that included a putting game.
We started bright and early with a pre-round stretching session, led by our Member Recruitment Director Janine Young. That got us warmed up and ready to swing! We finished up with a delightful post-round luncheon.
