Remember that our luncheon is on Novem-

ber 20. It is also the last opportunity to get

tickets for the December 11th Holiday Lunch-

eon. Yes, that is correct, mark your calendars, shine your

shoes, December 11 is our last luncheon of 2014. If you

Bob Peterson for ticket availability and seating. Tickets

In recognition of veterans day this month, let us give

thanks to all veterans everywhere who have served our

country in peace time and in times of conflict. Through-

out our country’s history, their struggles have allowed the

achievement of freedoms for our country and those of

peoples in countries around the earth. We are all truly

indebted to your diligence and your sacrifices in upholding

the rights for freedom from tyranny and peace to every-

one.

From all of us to all of you, we wish you Happy Thanks-

giving! We wish good will for you this holiday season, love

all, prosper great relations with family and friends, and

have a wonderful holiday feast.

Big Sir Gary Stout

Our speaker for Nov 20 will be Marc Perl,

from our branch. Marc will talk about credit

and debit cards and how they work, as well as

tips about how to avoid fraud. He is a consultant to major

banks around the world about credit cards.

The new officers for 2015 will be installed at the No-

vember meeting, to officially take office in January.

The Holiday luncheon is on Dec 11. Remember to get

your luncheon tickets at the November luncheon ($18 for

one or $35 for 2). There will be music and a raffle and

good fellowship! Fred Jacobs

Wally @ 916-933-9599

The first week in November was the last tournament of 2014.

We had a two round tournament with the first round at Hag-

gin Oaks and the second round was held at Teal Bend.

In the A flight, Tom Baker returned from surgery on both

ankles to resume his dominance of the A flight. Bill Bertsch

shot a stellar 63 in the first round, but could not continue it

at Teal Bend and finished second. In the B flight, Bob Haines

recovered from heart surgery earlier this year to win the B

flight. Jerry Nakamura finished a close second only one

stroke back. In the C flight Gary Jones had the low net score

of the entire tournament to win the C flight. Ron Schultze

had a very nice round at Teal Bend to take 2nd. Russ Ryno won

the D flight, 10 strokes ahead of the next golfer. Mark Perl

and John Greenhalgh tied with Mark Perl winning the tie-

breaker for second place and John Greenhalgh placed third.
