LALGA By Beverly Hines March! A month when winter whispers goodbye to us and Spring says hello. It’s a time of renewal, of growth, and of endless possibilities. Our annual Member-Member Tournament was held February 10 and 11 with the theme of “Hearts and Carts”. We had fantastic weather for both days and an impressive field of 64 players each playing with a partner (32 teams) choosing play from the blue tees, blue/green tees, or combo tees. The first day was best ball net and gross of the partnership and the second day was a scramble. It was a great two-day event with friendly competition followed by lunch with Valentine cupcakes. Committee Chair and members were Liz Leigh (Chairman), Cheryl Tillman, Bonnie Simonetta, Sandra Lancaster, Jan Baun, Dianne Holman, and Deb Giannattasio. Everyone will be looking forward to another Member-Member tournament next year. The LALGA We-Care-for-Kids Committee completed the final Charity Drive for the 2024-25 League Season in early February. The Membership donated toiletries to local High Schools, including over 300 items for the School Nurses to distribute to needy students. Nancy Zografos, Chair/Bonnie Simonetta The Lake Wales High School Girl's Golf Team was selected to receive a $100 donation from the league. The funds will be used for transportation and equipment. A committee is being formed to investigate ways that our league can further support them besides the $100 donation. Jackie Tressler is leading the effort and will send out information to the members as plans develop. The league will be holding an election to fill two positions Vice President and Treasurer who will serve for 2year terms 6/1/2025-5/31/2027. The election will be electronic on LakeAshtonLiving.com and will be open for one week, March 19-26. The results will be announced at the LALGA membership meeting on 4/8/2025.
