Happy September! I feel like summer just started and it is already time for time for back to school, football, and the dreaded early sunsets. Both of our weeknight leagues wrapped up at the end of August. Thank you to everyone who participated in our weeknight leagues as well as our traveling match play league. A huge thank you to our league coordinators, Alison Swanz-Nagle, Judy Simone, Kasey Lucard, Kim Six, and Pat Dollinger! All three leagues were huge successes this year and we appreciate all the work you ladies do behind the scenes!    

As we enter the fall golf season, the Chapter will head to Riverwinds on Saturday, September 19th. In October, we will head to Paxon Hollow before meeting at Bella Vista for our Season Closing Event. A few spots remain open for the Paxon Hollow event on October 3rd but the Riverwinds and Bella Vista event sold out very fast. You can join the waitlist for Bella Vista if you are interested in filling in if someone cancels. Thank you to everyone who has participated in all our events this year. We’ve had great turnout which leads to better events. Thank you to our event organizers, Sharon Primerano and Rita Gilson! Keep watching newsletters and your emails for events over the winter months.

Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve as Chapter President. I’ve enjoyed meeting so many fellow chapter members and I am excited for the future of the Chapter. I would especially like to thank the current board, Alana Storr, Jane Chan, Pat Dollinger, Rita Gilson, and Sharon Primerano for their friendships and hard work the past couple of years.

Chapter members will soon receive an email ballot for our 2027 Chapter Presidential Elections. Ballots will remain open for 10 days. Kim Six is our sole nominated candidate and the response options will be “in favor of” or “against” her serving as Chapter President. I have known Kim since she joined the Chapter in 2020. Since then, Kim has actively participated in leagues, events, and LPGA Amateurs National tournaments. She has managed the Chapter’s Facebook page for several years and ran the Traveling Match Play League this year. She has great ideas for the future, and I believe the Chapter will be in wonderful hands with her serving as President. Watch your email for your ballot and reach out to any current board member with questions.
