We Celebrated Our 100th!
About 80 golfers braved the rain on June 25th and over 100 people attended the luncheon afterward as we celebrated 100 years of CWGA golf. Thanks to Sara Papa, President, for putting this event together. She was helped in this endeavor by Robin Bickerstaff, immediate past president. A special thanks also to Carol Galbraith, Publicity Chair, for putting together a wonderful slide presentation documenting 100 years of our history. Liz (Janangelo) Caron was a great guest speaker.
