4 2007 Bill Flynn Penalty Golf Lisa Curtis 2007 President Hello again! I decided to write one more article to finish up my tenure as president. Our end of the year party was held back on Nov. 10th. It was a small gathering but we had a good time. I want to thank David Gray for cooking the steaks and Joy Bullard for the shrimp. I'd also like to thank Joyce Page 4 Lowery, Lisa Damron, Debi Martin, and Cheryl Gates for all their help. I couldn't have done it without you guys. We had a 50/50 drawing which was won by Jamie Wielt. We also raffled off a Miller Lite golf bag which was won by Joy Bullard, but I think Kelly Morgan managed to snag it away from her. We gave away five free memberships for next season and the lucky winners were Carl Bundy, Joe Gentles, Roger Nance, LeeAnn Stanley, and Murel Tedhams. We were also able to donate $ to the kids Christmas. So I want to say thank you to all of you that helped make this a successful season! Your new officers for the 2008 season are Betty Oliver- President, LeeAnn Stanley- Vice President, Joy Bullard- Secretary/Treasurer, and your judges are David Gray and Debi Martin.
