It is time to get together again as a club.  The first luncheon of the year will be held on September 9 at 11:30 am in the Clubhouse Dining Room.  Norton’s of Wilsonville will cater this luncheon and the menu includes Butternut Squash Soup, Salad w/ Blackberries, Pear, Hazelnuts and Goat Cheese w/ Champagne Vinaigrette, Mixed Bread Display, Chicken Breasts stuffed with Artichoke Mushroom Bruschetta w Caper, white wine, butter sauce, dessert. The deadline to sign up is Thursday, September 5 at noon. The cost is $32 for members and $37 for non-members.

Our bylaws state that you may attend one luncheon as a guest/non member, but that attendance at subsequent events requires payment of dues.  If you haven’t renewed your membership or joined CWA, now is a good time to take care of it.  Both books are in the Activity Center Closet and payment may be handed in at the desk or placed in the the slot by the activity center door.  If using the slot, be sure to put your form and money in an envelope marked “CWA”.

MaryJo McCloskey, Girls’ Golf Coach at George Fox University and author of When Girls Win will be our speaker.  Her team won the Division III National Championship last year. But winning doesn’t come easy.  She faced attitude and obstacles all along the way but she developed strategies to succeed in her career and to help those she worked with be successful too. These winning ways are not just for building a career and they are certainly not just for winning at sports. Come to hear her inspiring and entertaining talk, “Raise your Vibe with Coach MJ” and you will come away with some ideas to be applied to your own life. Our theme for the day is “Good Vibrations” and that can be our theme for the year too.
