Friday Night Nine & Dine had another great showing for its Disco Theme event. Couples dressed for the occasion and Chef Chelsea prepared a beautiful dinner spread after the play. We changed up the format for this one and played a scramble with the front nine changed to a Par 3 course. Taking home the Couples Disco honors was the team of Tony & Therese Wiley with Ron & Maria Bryant shooting 2 under par. We had a tie for second place shooting 1 under par respectfully were the teams of Alex & Deb Bilbrey with Joe & Jackie Lask and the team of Darin and Kristin Beach with Gus & Miriam Alifo and Tammy Ross Great playing everyone!!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: ANNA SCHULTE

Ashley Brewer Membership Director

with Mrs Schulte, I gained so much respect and admiration for her life and her life’s purpose She is an amazing, strong, and compassionate human being, and she truly deserves to be celebrated Mrs Schulte served our country, from 1980-2017, rising to the level of Colonel in the Air Force Reserves

She is now the Volunteer Manager for an organization called Airman’s Attic, where they provide clothing, uniforms, and household items to young Airmen and officers In addition to that, they accept donations and provides uniforms for all Junior ROTC units in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Springfield

Her favorite aspect about the Club is our Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, along with the meaningful friendships that she has created here She is a lover of all four seasons and specifically loves how beautiful the course looks during Autumn.

She is active in our Club by serving on the Ladies Golf Association Board of Directors We thank her for her dedication in helping make Country Club of the North a wonderful experience for our present and future lady members

Her husband, John, served in the Air Force from 19802008 After leaving the Air Force, John became a Contracting Officer and formally retired in 2019 Thank you both so much for your service, it is an honor for you to be members of our Club
