BEN GILLES

As I step down from the Chairmanship, I want to thank the Board of Director’s and members for allowing me the privilege of chairing this program for the last 25 years. It has been a great honor organizing the program and working with Allan Mitchell and Brad Peck of whom guided and supported my efforts. I also want to thank all the women throughout the years who have served on the committee with me especially my present committee of Lisa Bechtoldt, Jennifer Bergmann, Kim Gilmore, Greg Gilles, Matt Richards, Christen Ring and Vicky VandenBrook. Their dedication to the program is what makes it as great as it is!Lisa Bechtoldt worked with me this summer and will take over as Junior Chairman next summer. I wish her the best as she continues to grow the program.

I will continue on as a committee member and now have the fun of walking the course with my Grandson.

Little did I know when my daughter Jane, starting in the program in 1983 and Jim in 1985, that I would spend the next 33 years every Friday and presently every Wednesday at Nakoma!

To all my Juniors: Thanks for the Memories!

Betty Lemon
