A social summer

Jo-Anne Applebaum
ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE, CHAIR

We have had a busy May and June with a host of activities from Speakers, Book Reviews and Dinner events.
On May 17, Landon Hong, a registered dietician, talked at Ladies’ on the importance of snacking while playing golf. As
obvious as this may sound Landon discussed the right balance of snacks and reminded us to prepare ahead of time. The
highlights were sliced mango and apples, figs, hard or soft boiled eggs, an assortment of nuts, and my favorite goldfish
crackers to retain the salt we loose on a warm day. It was a great night had by all and we hope Landon will return next year.
On May 31, Sandra MacTavish returned for her second year to Ladies’ and reviewed the book “Little Fires Everywhere.” All I
can say is after the book review I was so interested in the conversation I started reading it the next day. Feel free to join any
of the book reviews even if you don’t have time to read the book. It is a nice way to decide what book to start reading if you
don’t have one.
Special thanks to both Paul & Cathy Striowski for organizing a wonderful evening with Terry Fallis on June 7. His talk was
centered on his latest book “One Brother Shy”. After his discussion he signed every book that was sold. Rumour has it that
his next book which should be out by summer 2019 features Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto. So stay tuned.
Cathy Tile reviewed her book selection “And After the Fire.” She will be back at Ladies’ on September 4 and October 2 so
more information to come on her book selection.
On May 26, over 90 people attended the Mediterranean Dinner. The music was fabulous and it was great to see so many
people out with their family and friends. Don’t worry if you missed this one as there are many more events planned for July.
• Prime Rib Night - July 7
• Rib Night - July 11
• Progressive Dinner - July 14
• Lobster Feast - July 21

On July 19 Ladies’ Member Pat Butler is discussing her book “Thanks for leaving me”. She will fill us in on what it takes to
publish a book and her inspirational story. You don’t have to read the book to attend and there will be copies for sale for
cash or cheque. Please RSVP on line or email Lisa Lamb, llamb@ladiesgolfclub.com.
Hope to see you all out very soon!
