Good things happen at the April Sound Country Club golf course on Mondays. This is the day non-profit organizations are allowed to have golf tournaments. The other days are protected for the members. A tournament that is going to result in good entertainment for the county is the upcoming fifth annual tournament sponsored by the Montgomery County Performing Arts Society. Proceeds benefit their 2002-2003 season and community outreach programs. Tournament chairmen John Berryman and Patsy McLemore are looking for more golfers to sign up to play to help the cause. Entries are $75 per player and include lunch, course refreshments and a social hour with award presentations after play. Format is a team scramble with both low gross and low net prizes. They would also welcome hole sponsors at $100 and need more door prizes if anyone can donate a prize. "The prizes make it fun for everyone," John Berryman said. If you can play or help with a door prize call John at 447-3886. After the 2000 census results were in, voting precincts were realigned in accordance with population growth and April Sound residents are now in Precinct 77. For the first time voting was held in the clubhouse in the Driftwood Room on March 12, which made it unusually convenient. Voter turnout was just under 600. Republican Precinct Chairman Pat Simmons was on a vacation to Australia, so Joyce Cooke filled in as election judge and did an excellent job. Following the election, the precinct caucus was held, and several resolutions were passed that will go on for consideration at the district meeting April 6. Participation in the election process gives us the opportunity to make sure the people we would like to see in office have our support. With our polling place so close, some residents arrived by golf carts; others walked to the club. It made participating in the democratic process very easy. Bob Quinn has done it again. Gotten into print, that is, with four of his short stories. Hot off the press is a collection of short story fiction entitled "Muscadine Vine and Clear Creek Water." It is comprised of short stories which won prizes in contests sponsored by The Scribblers, a writing club which meets at Central Library in Conroe. Bob is a consistent winner in these short story contests, and undertook the task of compiling 18 of the winners for an anthology. It was published by Writers Club Press, and Bob did an outstanding job of editing it. April Sound resident Marion Landry has two stories in the anthology. Bob and Marion hope to have a book signing in April Sound in a month or so, introducing the book to their friends and neighbors. |
