Sunday Jan 11 at 11:30Coyote Creek Golf course
At this time, I’m looking into a Friday evening event. Possible golf tournament & Past President's cocktail party following golf.
If I get enough responses for golf, I’ll hold the event at the golf course. If not, I’ll host a Past President's cocktail party at another location.
I NEED A RESPONSE ABOUT ANYONE INTERESTED IN PLAYING GOLF IN A TOURNAMENT! PLEASE LET US KNOW IF INTERESTED ASAP SO WE CAN PLAN!
Who would like to play golf Friday Jan 9 at Coyote Creek in Morgan Hill. Possible start time 11:00 am. To participate in the golf tournament, it will be approximately $200 per player. Breakfast or lunch will be included.
Thanks,
Your 2025 President,
Jill Butler-Moyer

Logan, the eldest, started pursuing a Business Administration degree but now has changed to Business Marketing. He likes that the degree is entertaining. Logan also enjoys performing in a Bluegrass Band! Brock, one of Spring’s twins, is majoring in Media Technology. He would like to obtain a Real Estate License and own his own Property Management business. He, too, has an interest in music. He started on piano and went on to violin & guitar.
