LOW GC Lights up Clubhouse
With Christmas Fun and Joy!

Without fail, the members of the LOW GC gather together on the Monday following Thanksgiving and faithfully and fancifully decorate the LOW Clubhouse.

This year's decorating effort continues the theme of a Winter Wonderland and, by the end of the day, the Clubhouse was sparkling with snowflakes, twinkle lights and lovely greenery.

Many thanks to Jan Davis, Mary Sims and Vassa Olson for chairing the Clubhouse Decorating Committee and to all the folks who worked with them to make the outside and inside so festive. 

Following the completion of the decorating, members were treated to a pizza lunch by the Clubhouse management!

Great job everyone!

Have You Picked Up Your Copy of the New LOW GC Yearbook?

For the first time since the pandemic, the LOW GC has issued  a new Yearbook/Member Directory!  Members who attended the October meeting at Bees & Trees were the first to receive it.

Similar to past Yearbooks--but even better--the entire booklet is in color, has member photos and even has a spiral binding to make it stay open better!

Although more costly than previous yearbooks, the Yearbook Committee not only covered the entire cost of printing the booklet, but also made money on this year's edition by selling ads to local businesses!

Be sure and thank the Yearbook team (Mary Sims, Al Rico, Jeanne Allen, Joy Pool and Teresa Gregson) when you see them!  They worked like crazy on this project! Also, be sure to use and thank our advertisers!  Ultimately, it was our advertisers who made the quality of this Yearbook happen.

If you were unable to attend the October meeting and want to get your free copy of the Yearbook, you may email Mary Sims here.
