From The President: Gary W. Brown
I hope everyone had a joyous Holiday Season and is prepared to begin the
New Year. Oak Knoll certainly experienced an interesting year in 2011.
I would like to say thanks to all of our Board Members, Committee
Chairpersons, and staff who worked hard all year long. I truly appreciate
the effort and commitment you have made to Oak Knoll.
I feel very positive about our coming year and I know Oak Knoll will
be better than ever. We are going to work very hard on getting our
membership numbers up. Membership is key to our success.
As always if you have any concerns or questions don’t hesitate to notify a
Board Member or myself.
Thank you to everyone who helped in decorating the clubhouse for the holidays. It really looked great.
Thank you to all that attended and participated in the OKCC 2011 Christmas party. A great time was had by all. The party was a success.
Respectfully,
Gary W. Brown
OKCC President
FROM THE OKCC STAFF:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Christmas gratuity program.
We are very lucky and blessed to work for members who appreciate the
work we do during the year. We wish everyone a heartfelt Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year. We look forward to serving all of you for many
years to come.
Happy New Year!! 2012 is here and let’s continue to build upon the momentum we finished 2011. The 2012 tournament is currently under construction and will be unveiled soon. The 2011 tournaments were filled with fun and excitement and 2012 should not be any different.

FROM THE RED TEES: JOYCE CHAMBERS
As a first order of business the new officers were installed by Patsy Trepagnier in a candle-light
ceremony. They are: Rene Amond – LGA President; Sheryl Morales- LGA Vice President; Kelly
Coudrain- LGA Secretary; Joy Peterson- LGA Treasurer. Congratulations, ladies.
Rene received her tribute from the club in appreciation for her leadership.
All other business was dismissed and the meeting turned over to the Christmas party.
Chairperson Pud Ozment who after welcoming and introducing our guests announced the
party would be different this year. Then as she started announcing her plans to the group,
she caught the recipient completely off guard when she said it would be someone being
named “Queen for a Day”- Joyce Chambers. Actually it was a “Roast”. It was fun, certainly for
Joyce, but the committee also wanted all to have fun as they roasted Joyce. They introduced
the members of Joyce’s family, Ronald, her son; his wife Rita, and Jackie McCarthy- Daughterin-
law. Clair Stephens came back to sing acapella her rendition of “What a Wonderful Day”.
The song, Clair felt, typified Joyce’s attitude toward life. Doris Evans read a poem; (really a
parody) dedicated to Joyce, “The Old Gray Mare Ain’t What She Used to Be”. Sheryl Morales
described Joyce as being competitive (I wonder why). There were many other comments.
Since I write this section, I’m being personal now and using the first person. Thank all of you
for the many years of enjoyment I have had with all of you. There have been arguments
sometimes, but at the end of the match, it’s OK. You “girls” have kept me thinking young, and
to keep up with you, I’ve had to push myself, probably aiding me physically. The ride is not over
yet! I’ll still be around pestering you as I need more help now, but I’ll try to continue to help
you and cooperate as well as compete. I’m still looking for those pink Tee Markers, at least a
few yards closer. After all I’m 90. Men have different markers for different age groups. Let’s
start something new for us old ladies. Jake is it possible? These past 31 years have been fun,
Thanks!
Now, back to the party! The food was good. Everyone brought their favorite Christmas goody.
The day was beautiful. We need to thank Pud Ozment, Trish Tynes, Hilda Misita, and Paulette
Latham for organizing such a nice affair.
No activities have been planned for January. If the weather permits and the Wednesday event
chair decides to have an event the news will be spread by email or phone
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the staff and membership of Oak Knoll Country Club. 2011 was a great year for the facility and the Board would like to thank everyone that helped make this year a success. We anticipate 2012 to be another great year for the facility and would love to have anyone interested be a part of the activities throughout the year. Thank you and have a safe and happy holiday season.
From The President: Gary W. Brown
Another year has come and gone. How time flies. I hope all of you enjoyed
your Thanksgiving meals and family gatherings.
I hope everyone has signed up for the OKCC Christmas party held on
December 10th. It is sure to be a good time.
The November, Lobster Boil was a great success. Thanks to everyone
who came out and participated. A good time was had by all.
Please remember to check the monthly bulletins for any upcoming club
events. We plan to keep the calendar booked with fun activities.
Once again it is the time of season to reflect on all the blessings we have
received and be thankful. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy and
prosperous New Year.
As always if you have any concerns or questions don’t hesitate to notify a
