November 2024

Greetings everyone!

Bet you were expecting a letter from our new GVWGA President, Cindy Keller, but you’re stuck with her understudy. (Thank God there’s no singing or dancing involved!) Cindy has asked me to draft this letter to let you know how much she appreciates being elected President and how she's very much looking forward to working with all of us! Currently, she is helping her mom transition to an assisted living facility. Things are not going as smoothly as she hoped, so please say a prayer that she and Mom make it through the stormy waters. I believe we can all agree that family should be our foremost priority, and asking for an assist occasionally is a healthy option.

As for me, I’m also thankful for your support in giving me another two-year VP run representing an awesome group of kick-ass ladies (who happen to play golf.) I believe we have an amazing Board in place and together, with your valuable input, we will strive to make GVWGA one of the most sought-after memberships in town.

In closing, I leave you with a joke. What's the best way to keep a turkey in suspense? You'll find out at Thanksgiving dinner! (Hmmm, maybe I would do better with the singing or dancing.) Wishing you a safe and happy Thanksgiving from the entire GVWGA Board!

Best regards,

Cathy Smith

Hello GVWGA Members,

My first newsletter as your new GVWGA President! First off, I want to thank you for giving me the “honors” for serving in this capacity. I am looking forward to listening to your ideas and concerns. I also have a fantastic Board to work with! I want to particularly thank outgoing President, Georgia Rush, for her attention to details as president, not just in the past two years, but her long lasting work/experience in years before. I also would like to thank Donna Lashbrook for her many years (too many to count but a lot!) of service as our Secretary. Not an easy task, and Donna did a great job in communicating through the taking of minutes from meetings both at the Spring and Fall banquets, and also the Board minutes, as well as working with our Treasurer, Jill Reichhart. Our new Secretary, Judy Gagnier, will more than likely be just as successful in completing the task at hand for our association, and like myself, working with a great Board to ensure a smooth transition into our new positions. The GVWGA Board will have its first meeting of the year in January, 2025. I cannot wait for our first Board meeting, and to jump into all that comes with our great association.

And so missing golf already, and with the colder months here, I will probably join some friends and head over to Glacier Ridge Sports in Spencerport. For $25.00 unlimited golf balls, I can tune up, learn, correct, and have fun. I also want to check out some of the simulators like the ones at Ontario Golf Club and Webster Golf Club. I know some of you lucky beans will be traveling to warmer weather; have fun and stay away from those water hazards! With December being here, I think we can all agree that no matter where you are, it’s a great time to be with family and friends as we celebrate the holiday. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. And now to close, since Cathy Smith left you with a joke (ha ha) in November’s newsletter, I will continue with this month’s funny here: “Santa played a round of golf on Christmas day to relax, and hit a birdie. It was a Partridge on a Par 3.” Oh brother that’s the best I could do?! So long…for now.

Cindy Keller
