We want to give a huge shoutout to our Director of Events, Lynda Beam and the events committee for creating such an amazing kick off for the 2023 season. The Tee Off Luncheon was a day to remember, filled with fun and excitement, and it was great to see so many of our members there to start off the season.

The fashion show, hosted by Christina Thompson and her team from Golf 4 her, was a highlight of the event. Our amazing members volunteered to model some of the latest golf fashion trends, and they all looked fantastic! It was inspiring to see such a great turnout and support from our members.

We'd also like to extend a big thank you to our Eagle sponsor this year, Sioban Beere from Post Polak. Your generous support made this event possible, and we're grateful for your contribution to our Chapter.

In addition, we'd like to recognize our member vendors Ingrid Brase, IBSewing and Donna Sanclemente, The Beaded Realtor, as well as Hillary Spivak from Arbonne. Thank you for being part of our event and for showcasing your fantastic products. We appreciate your support and dedication to our Chapter.

If the Tee Off Luncheon is any indication of what the season ahead has in store, we should all be very excited. We have a lot of exciting events and activities planned, and we can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds. Stay tuned for more updates and events from our club!

Once again, thank you to everyone who helped make the Tee Off Luncheon such a huge success. We're looking forward to an amazing 2023 season together."
