Most of us over age 10

know that more joy comes

from giving than from re-

ceiving. This time of year

brings many opportunities

for charity, caring and self-

less service to others.

We have much to be proud

of as an organization, as we

have certainly been in the

giving spirit this season.

The reality is that our club

has two main purposes.

The first being a social net-

working club that helps

spouses meet and cultivate

friendships by conducting a

variety of different social

activities. The second, but no

less important, is our philan-

thropy. I would like to take a

few moments to comment on

this second rewarding pur-

pose.

It is very easy to become so

wrapped up in luncheons,

newsletters and bazaars that

we occasionally lose sight of

why exactly we do what we

do as a club. Our Welfare

Committee recently awarded

over twenty thousand dollars

to charitable organizations in

our community. This money

bers volunteered to put on

an incredibly successful

event. The hours spent by

our members speaks vol-

umes for our membership:

many of the volunteers

gave their time, even in the

midst of caring for their

families during a deploy-

ment, or with family in

town visiting. I even saw

members giving their time

while sick and running fe-

vers. I am humbled to be

part of an organization of

such wonderful people, all

working so hard to raise

money for our charitable

giving. The money we

raised at the Bazaar will

significantly increase our

ability to give to charities

during our next giving sea-

son.

We have many more

events planned for the

busy holiday season. I

hope you will consider

helping our club meet both

of its goals by attending the

Night of Giving, Tour of

Homes, or the Ugly

Sweater Luncheon. To-

gether, we truly can make

a difference for many folks

in our community.

and 0920 for those who want

to take advantage of Mother’s

Day Out. On days when there

are no tournaments on the

calendar, our group will be able

to play on the 9 hole course

that is closed for maintenance,

allowing our new golfers the

opportunity to enjoy a more

relaxed environment in which

to practice. For those not able

to make the arranged tee time,

other tee times can also be set

up. Just let me know. Either

check with the pro shop (287-

4130) or contact me for cur-

rent tee times.

If you are a new golfer, there

are ladies who like to play a

scramble for either 9 or 18

holes (the best ball on every

shot) to make their golf outing

Merry Christmas Y’all !

Take some time out from

holiday baking and shopping to

enjoy a round of golf with

friends. Get out those winter

golf gloves and earmuffs and

let’s try to play golf on those

sunny winter days. Yes, we

play golf all year long. We may

encounter some frost delays, so

be sure to call the pro shop

(287-4130) before you head out

to see if our times have been

delayed. If it’s below 40F you

might want to check. Those

shady greens tend to get frost

on them. But we’re tough!

The snack bar has hot choco-

late to keep us warm.

the opportunity to try different

their game. For those who are

seasoned golfers, a faster group

who keep their own individual

welcome. Our goal is to have

fun!

Please come out and join us

on the course. We are always

anxious to welcome new ladies

to our group. If you would like

Luncheon RSVP Policy Reservations end at NOON on the Wed

prior to the luncheon. Once reservations

are closed the google forms will no longer

accept responses.

Cancellations need to made by NOON

on the Wednesday prior to the luncheon or

you will still be held financially responsible

for the meal.

The reason for these policies is that OSC

has to turn in our meal numbers to Club

Hood in advance of the luncheon so they

can order and prepare enough meals and

set up enough places. OSC has to pay for

the meals whether they are eaten or not.

Half year/Permanent Reserva-

tions: Members with half year/permanent

reservations will still need to fill out the

google form. If you do not fill out a form,

you will automatically be ordered the first

meal choice. If you cancel by the deadline you

will not be held financial responsible. Half

Year will get four luncheons (September, Oc-

tober, November & December). Half year/

Permanent reservations can receive a credit

for any luncheon not attended, if you cancel in

time. Refunds will be issued at the May lunch-

eon to those who have a credit balance.

Check-in at the luncheons will begin at

10:30am. Please allow us time to set every-

thing up before coming to the table. We want

to be able to say hi and give everyone the

courtesies they deserve.

Luncheons cost $15 and can be paid for

with cash, check or charge. $25 is the mini-

mum amount that can be charged. There is an

ATM in the Club but it is not always working.

Dear OSC members,

We just want to take a moment and

explain the OSC luncheon reservation

policy and the reason behind it:

A google form will be emailed out three

weeks prior to a every luncheon. It will

allow you to make your reservation and

meal choice. You can also make a reserva-

tion for a guest. Someone can attend the

luncheons as a guest only once. If you

make a reservation for a guest, you are

responsible for the cost of the meal if they

do not attend. When making your reserva-

tions via the google form, you must hit

the submit button and then you will receive

a confirmation response. The response is a

small screen that pops up instantly stating

we have your reservation. It is not a sepa-

rate email.
