Did you know that Monday, March 11 was National Johnny Appleseed Day? Neither did the ladies of the Mountainview Lady Putters until they attended the luncheon that afternoon. Expecting to walk into a ballroom decorated in St. Patrick’s Day décor. But no, it was very “appealing” to the senses bursting with apples. What is National Johnny Appleseed Day all about? We remember a man who made apple trees bloom across the nation. The day celebrates a kindly legend that lived by sage teachings and labored to bring the shade of fruit trees across much of the United States. Marilyn Ginther set up an apple orchard backdrop and a variety of eight apples with short descriptions for the ladies to match up. The winner, Patty Stark, took home a basket full of apple items (apple jelly, apple spice tea, apple cider, apple & cinnamon oatmeal, green apple Jell-O, applesauce even Werther’s Caramel Apple filled candy), Marilyn shared words of wisdom we learn from an apple. “An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away” or “You’re The Apple of My Eye” but the best advice from an apple — “Be Well Rounded, Let Your Plans Ripen, Hold on to Core Values, Savor Variety, Eat Healthy, Know When To Let Go Take A Bite Out of Life”. The bartenders created a specialty Washington apple drink. We even finished our lunch with a slice of delicious apple pie.
A committee has been busily preparing for our BIG event on Monday, April 15, hosting the Quail Creek Putters. The Welcome Banner will be hung and the MV Lady Putters will line up making a putter’s arch for their arrival. The Mountain View putting green will be swarming with 108 ladies (54 from each club) playing their rounds. There was plenty of cheering, chatter and laughter heard on the green and hopes of a “hole in one” on the pre-selected Money Hole. Following the putting, the ladies will convene in the HOA-1 dining room, where the ladies will enjoy a Roasted Pork luncheon. The room will explode with butterflies and uplifting spring colors Money prizes with be allotted to the first, second and third place teams and great door prizes.
It will continue to be an exciting fun year. Never know what the theme of the day will be for the future luncheons. Many fun events have been scheduled and will be a delight to the ladies. Check out our website for photos, hot news, upcoming events and more at mvlputters.com. GO PUTTERS!!
