NINETEENTH ANNUAL WINE TASTING CRUISE

Pot o’ gold
Follow the rainbow to the Pickleball Courts maybe there’s a pot o’ gold, if not maybe just some Irish Luck to help our games get better.
The weather has been great for Pickleball, so come on out! If you are a newbie, experienced or somewhere in between; we have courts available for all levels. Just bring your water, wear comfy clothes and court shoes we’ve got the equipment, if you don’t.
The Pickleball Center is on Mueller (by the golf course) there is usually someone out playing every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday at 10:00 AM. During this time of year – it is weather permitting – if it’s cold that’s fine but wet courts are dangerous.
We are using playtimescheduler.com, this is a nationwide site. If you are traveling to another state you can look up where the pickleball courts are, play time and if there are people going there. If you want to know if we will be out playing just create an account. There is no cost to you. It is fairly new to us, so we are getting used to putting our names down when we are playing. Habits take practice!
Come on out and have some fun with us!

2025 PMLMGC
Well it’s time to get your teams together as we kick-off March with two of our classic tournaments. The St. Patrick’s Day Invitational scheduled for March 8th and our March Madness event scheduled for March 26th. Cheers to making 2025 another great year for the PMLMGC.
TOURNAMENT TEE SELECTION
Many of our tournaments allow players to select what tees they will play from. It is important that players sign up for the correct tees. Any player can play from the Gold tees, regardless of their age or index, if they so choose. But only players that qualify may play from the Purple/Green tees. To qualify a player must be 70, or older, or have an index of 18.7, or higher. It is very difficult for the Golf Shop to make tee changes at the last minute. Any player that plays from incorrect tees risks disqualification. Typically, one team member will sign up a 4-man or 2-man team, so it is imperative that that team member sign up their team from the correct tees.
WEBSITE TOURNAMENT SIGN UP
Please continue to use the website, pmlmgc.com, to sign up and pay for tournaments. Using the website for tournament sign up and payment makes it easier for the club and the Golf Shop to manage tournaments. Go to pmlmgc.com to see the tournament schedule.

April brings more than showers on April 12th, the date of our Rotary clubs’ 22nd Red White & Blue Ball. The Lack Family Band is providing the entertainment and Tuolumne Trails is providing the venue. This Black Tie Optional event is an opportunity to dress in your best and enjoy an evening of fine dining, dancing, and best of all a salute to those serving in our armed forces. This fun filled event begins at 5:30pm with a no host bar. Dinner begins around 6pm, followed by entertainment. Be sure to order your tickets in advance as seating is limited. The ticket price is $75 per person which covers dinner and entertainment.
Your participation in Rotary fundraiser events has enabled us to once again provide personalized dictionaries to the third grade students at Tenaya Elementary. This annual Rotary event brings joy to both the students that receive the books and the Rotarians that attend the event. We have also committed $1000 to our Rotary Districts’ Disaster Relief fund, benefiting those affected by the recent So Cal fires. When disaster strikes, clubs around the world mobilize and assist.
The five Rotary Clubs of Tuolumne county just held their annual Super Bowl Sunday Breakfast fundraiser at the Sonora Fairgrounds on Sunday, February 9th.
It was well attended and guests enjoyed omelets and croissants prepared by Columbia College Culinary students.
We thank our community for all of the support and we welcome you to join us a Friend of Rotary, helping with projects and events, or to join our club as a Rotarian, taking part in the direction and implementation of our endeavors. For more information regarding the club and tickets to events, please contact Rotarian Greg Cramblit at 209-962-0607or email gregcramblit@gmail.com.

We launched our new year on February 5 with a wonderful “Galentine’s Day” lunch at the PML Grill. Beautiful Valentine themed decorations created a festive atmosphere. Our delicious lunch featured pasta with meat sauce, Ceasar salad, garlic bread and individual Tiramisu.
After lunch one of our Vice Presidents, Cheri Darouze led a lively discussion about event plans for our year. We are considering two “off the hill” excursions, one to Murphys and the other to Yosemite. More information will be shared as we secure all the details. We rounded out the afternoon with a Valentine exchange.
Ladies Club meets the first Wednesday of the month except January and July. Our March 5 meeting will be at the Grill. Social time starts at 12 noon and lunch is served at 12:30. We are always eager to welcome new members, we invite all PML Ladies to join us for the fun! For questions or more info, contact Cheri Darouze at 209-604-5008, or Sharon Newell 415-244-7514.

Everyone will be returned to the Lake Lodge by 6#30 pm for a coffee and cookie reception.
