Women’s Alliance

Get out your Mardi Gras beads and start saving your extra change.  The Women’s Alliance is hosting a Casino Night at the Club on February 18 from 6-10:30 pm.  We’re bringing in The Party Company to run real casino tables – 4 Blackjack tables, a Texas Hold ‘Em table, a Craps table and a Roulette wheel.  So find your lucky socks and put this on your calendar.  There will be food, prizes and fun!  We even have a ‘Pit Boss’ who can help the novices learn the games. Ticket price is $50 per person and will include $10,000 worth of chips.  RSVP to Patty Tomka  pbtomka@hotmail.com and drop checks off at 8214 Condover Ct by Feb 10.  Make them out to Deercreek Women's Alliance.

We’re also bringing back the Shamrock Scramble on March 11, with a shotgun start at 1 pm.  You’ll want to get a head start on putting your teams together – and perhaps finding matching outfits!  The more green the better! You can get more information from Kathy Nyman in the Pro Shop as it gets closer to the tournament.  Let’s plan to make this one our biggest one ever.  We’ll have hole sponsors and silly prizes along with some really nice raffle prizes.  The cost is $85 per person or $300 for a team of four.  This will cover golf, cart fees and dinner.  If you would be willing to sponsor a hole, please contact Karen Rutland at 519-0926  and she will give you the information.  Everyone comes off the course smiling at this event (it could be because of the beer cart) so make sure you are signed up to come out and play with us.

This month we are spotlighting our charity called “The Bag Ladies” as they celebrate their 4th birthday.  In that amount of time they have produced and donated 2,081 welcome bags to be given to children arriving at the Hubbard House.  This started with the women of the Lakewood Presbyterian Church and has grown to include groups across the country, as they have organized training sessions and start-up packets for those interested in setting up the program in other cities.  The Bag Ladies have been blessed by donations of all kinds over the years.  Sometimes in comes in the form of a large check to underwrite expenses, sometimes fabric is offered to make the bags and sometimes it is free computer work offered by experts.  Books are donated by Books a Go Go, another of our charities, and various community stores donate things to put in the bags. They are launching their website on January 14 to become accessible to anyone who sees the need to help in their own communities.  If you have something to offer, contact Debbie Wallace at 998-0090 or write to Pat Bloebaum at PatBee@aol.com
