Details of a new Cottonwood Lady Niners’ website were unveiled at the December 17 Christmas luncheon and meeting.

Designed and implemented by member Kathy Bushbaum, the website includes new member information as well as league news, golf winners and membership listing.

“It’s simple to use,” said Bushbaum, “but includes all the information needed by prospective and current members.” Further, Bushbaum asked members to access the website at www.cottonwoodlady9ers.com and reminded them that it remains “a work in progress.”

Six new members attended an orientation session December 10 conducted by Membership Chairman Leslie Swan.

The Sun Lakes Fire Department has been chosen to benefit from the annual Member-Guest Tournament March 17, announced co-chair Dixie McQuaid.
