Lynn Polulak and Mindy Metz, along with many committee members, held a hugely successful charity event (Boots and Bling, it’s a Country Creek Thing) to benefit Blessings in a Backpack. A whopping amount of money, in excess of $12,000, (with donations still coming in) was raised from the event. Twenty-six backpacks were also donated to the local chapter. The charity fills the backpacks with food that is given for children to take home over the weekends to supplement their diets.

The money for the charity was raised through a variety of efforts: over 50 gift baskets were offered through the use of raffle tickets randomly chosen for each item; many beautiful silent auction items raised a sizable amount of funds; share the wealth tickets; and the Bloody Mary fairy and friends’ offerings for a donation from the lady golfers.

IN MEMORIAM: LINDA ZENGER 08/01/1938 – 02/10/2025

Our dear friend Linda passed away at 86 years young only one week after being diagnosed with cancer. You may remember her as an avid walker. Linda was an active member of the CCLGA golf league, bocce, Wii bowling and a variety of card games. She is sorely missed.
