Charbonneau Women’s Niner’s Pink Ball Golf Tournament fundraiser to fight cancer

Written by

SEPTEMBER 13 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. PLEASE REGISTER AND CONSIDER BECOMING A SPONSER. SEE INFORMATION BELOW

 PLEASE SAVE THE DATE FOR SEPTEMBER 13, 2022!

Eighteen (18) years ago, the Charbonneau Women’s Niner’s Golf group, Wilsonville decided to make a difference in the fight against cancer and started the Pink Ball Golf Tournament.  From its modest beginnings, the Pink Ball Tournament has grown into the largest golf tournament in Charbonneau. 

 We are proud that the Pink Ball Golf Tournament has raised $345,242  for the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute since 2014 and additionally over $150,000 to Susan G. Komen and American Cancer Society.  100% of our proceeds are donated.

This year our Pink Ball Tournament will be on Tuesday, September 13th and will benefit the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.  OHSU is one of five clinical trial sites investigating a blood test for cancerearly detection.   Your generosity is helping make research and care discoveries possible, so OHSU can provide the best care to patients, advance cancer research and help more people survive cancer.

 We are hoping you will join us in this worthwhile cause by participating, as a corporate sponsor at one of our four levels of sponsorship or donate an item/gift basket/certificate/gift cards for the auction. There will be close to 200 plus golfers and an additional 60-70 attending the luncheon, oral and silent auctions.    The OHSU Foundation will provide receipts for sponsorship donations made directlyto the OHSU Foundation.

LEVELS OF SPONSORSHIP:

Bronze:  $250 includes a Corporate Tee Box Sign and acknowledgement in the Tournament program.

Silver:    $500 includes a Corporate Tee Box Sign on each nine hole course and acknowledgement in the Tournament program.

 Gold:      $750 includes a Corporate Banner at the Clubhouse and registration area in addition to the Tee-Box Sign on each nine hole course and acknowledgement in the Tournament program.

 Diamond: $2,500 and above includes your Corporate Banners at the Clubhouse and Pro Shop visible to all players in addition to the Tee Box Sign on each nine hole course and SPECIAL acknowledgement during the awards ceremony.  Also includes lunch for up to 4 people, 9 holes of golf for tournament and cart! 

We have an Honor Wall recognizing those we have lost to cancer and/or are now in treatment for cancer. Tee-box Signs for a $50 donation are printed in their honor and placed around the entire course, the day of the event.  Ask us for a form. Remember family and friends. We have all been touched by this disease in one way or another.  This is one way of saying cancer will not win.  We are all in this fight together.

 Thank you for your consideration. I am available for questions. 503-694-8652   Checks can be made out to “OHSU Foundation” mailed to me: Lynn Theis 32153 SW Lake Dr., Wilsonville, OR 97070.

CHOA Annual Meeting to be virtual again this year

Written by

Dear Homeowner:                                                                          

The CHOA Board of Directors decided to conduct the 2022 Annual meeting virtual this year as there was still uncertainly with Covid and the rules around large gatherings when we planned this meeting, plus the fact that the Clubhouse is in the process of moving some activities to the new Activity Center and some of our normal spaces may be unavailable during this transition.  We look forward to having next year’s Annual Meeting in person!

We will be mailing you a package with the following along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope:

  1. 2021 Annual Meeting Minutes.
  2. 2021 Yearend Financial Statement.
  3. Ballot for 3 items that require your vote:
    • Board of Director- 3 candidates
    • Approval of 2021 Annual Minutes
    • Approval of Annual IRS Resolution

In addition, you will find a notice that says CHOA is in compliance with Oregon House Bill (HB) 2534.  This is a legal requirement that we need to affirm compliance.

Please note that you will need to return your Ballots by Friday, April 22nd.

As you know, 2021 was a very challenging year for CHOA and Charbonneau as a whole.  We had Covid, Ice Storms and Excessive Heat to contend with.  Due to Covid, all our Board meeting were held virtually.  Despite these challenges, we able to get work done to continue make CHOA a place we all enjoy.  We accomplished the following:

  1. Revised the Bylaws to more align with the rest of Charbonneau
  2. Striped and marked all Visitor Parking areas
  3. Hosted Food Trucks in CHOA
  4. Upgraded Rec Hall C with a Generator and Wireless Internet
  5. Upgraded plantings by Red 5/6 restrooms
  6. Kept the Pools open the longest time in the recent past

We thank you for your continued support.  Please note that we are always looking for Volunteers to help keep CHOA the great place to live.  Please let me know if you interested in these opportunities. 

Sincerely,

Barry

Please note that the Red Course is closing to walkers, Tuesday, March 1st

Written by

Please note the following message from CCC:

“On behalf of our residents, the Charbonneau Country Club wishes to thank the Charbonneau Golf Club for allowing walkers on the cart paths on the Red Course during the winter. Having an additional safe place to walk has been appreciated and well used.

Starting March 1, golfers will be playing the Red course in addition to the other two courses. This means more maintenance equipment as well will be on the Red course and cart paths. Thus walking on all the courses and cart paths is discontinued on March 1.”

Reminder- Feeding of Wild Birds or Animals except Hummingbirds is Prohibited in CHOA

Written by

As you know, we have seen an increase in the number of wild animals in Charbonneau- there have been recent reports and sightings of Skunks, Raccoons, Rats and Mice.  Also, the local Squirrel population is getting larger.  They like to chew on the sprinkler heads which can destroy them and then we have to spend CHOA funds to replace the sprinkler heads.

In order to try to stem this trend, we want to help eliminate as much of their food sources as possible.  Therefore, we are asking that each CHOA neighbor refrain from feeding any animals and/or birds anywhere in CHOA or around your home except for Hummingbirds.  This includes inside your courtyard also.

In addition, please feed your pets indoors only and don’t leave them unsupervised outside.

Thanks in advance for your help here to make CHOA a safer neighborhood.

Tips for Winterizing your home

Written by

Folks,

As Winter is now officially here, we wanted to remind you of some basic things you can do to protect your home.

1. Protect the pipes

Protect against frozen pipes by insulating those that could be susceptible to freezing. With severe temperature drops, keep a trickle of water running in a few faucets to guard against freezing and bursting.

2. Stop the slips.

Keep driveways and sidewalks clear of ice and snow and repair any issues with steps and handrails.  Be especially vigilant of slippery moss on your sidewalks and driveways that grows during our wet times.

3. House the hose.

Remove all attached garden hoses, drain them and store them away. Shut off the valves and insulate the faucet.  There are inexpensive faucet covers for this.

If you’re heading south for the winter, you need to take extra precautions. Turn the water completely off and consider having the plumbing system drained to keep pipes from freezing. Also, have a friend or neighbor check on your home regularly to look for any issues. If a problem is detected, time is of the essence.

Please note that you can call Wilsonville Security (the folks that patrol the streets at night) at 503-207-5300 and let them know you will be gone and they will make an effort to check your address more often.

4. Clear the yard.

Keep the trees trimmed and remove dead branches and debris from your yard. Ice, snow and wind can weaken trees and cause branches to fall and potentially damage your home, car or even yourself and others.

5. Check the gutters.

Prevent ice dams by cleaning out your gutters, installing gutter guards (if feasible) and making sure the attic floor is properly insulated. The attic itself should be well-ventilated and about 10 degrees warmer than outside.

6. Seal the cracks.

Caulk around holes and openings to help prevent cold air from seeping in. Install weather stripping and seals around openings such as windows, doors, air conditioners and mail chutes.

7. Check the Roof.

Make sure that there is little or no Moss and/or missing shingles.  Moss can catch the snow and ice and lead to ice dams and missing shingles can allow water to penetrate the roof and leak into the attic or directly into the home.

8. Have heating checked.

The manufacturers recommend that your Furnaces and chimneys should be serviced at least once a year to clear any buildup and to keep them running efficiently.

9. Test your detectors.

Residential fires are more common in winter, so it is important that all of your smoke detectors work. Check them monthly and replace batteries as needed.  Write the date on the battery when you installed it. You should also consider installing a carbon monoxide detector (or in combination with a smoke detector) to avoid inadvertently trapping this toxic gas in your home.

Happy Holidays!

Red Course Open for neighbors to use

Written by

Please note that the Red Golf Course- the one that surrounds CHOA – is closed for golfing for the season and now open to neighbors to use.

This is nice feature to have in our neighborhood but there are a few rules:

+ Please stay on the paths

+ Please stay off of the Greens

+ Please clean-up after your dogs

Please note that the Golf team will not be maintaining the paths, so they may get a little slippery/leafy/dirty.

Enjoy!
