We played at Mid-Valley Golf Course this year. The golfing gods were good to us again this year. We had only 11 players this year. The team of Sam Fontaine, Deb Bramschreiber, and Carl Williquette had Low Score of even Par 70 to take honors as the Low Round of the Day. After Golfing, the 19th hole was up to its usual standards. The adult beverages were cold and the food was good. Diane Coyle and Dan Goudreau joined us on the 19th hole. Everyone was talking about the upcoming ski trips and who was going on which trip. I hope everyone had a good summer. It is now the time to start thinking about getting the Skiing/Snow Boarding Legs into shape for the upcoming Ski Season. If there is something you would like in the newsletter, please submit it to me by the 20th of the month. Thank you! My address is: mollysteffens@hotmail.com
