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.

We have had a catalytic converter theft this week in CHOA. Please be aware that catalytic converter thefts target certain cars. No care is safe, but the most common cars are Prius, Tacoma, Lexus SUVs and Accords. If you are able to keep your cars in the garage, especially at night, please try to do so. Otherwise, park your car as close to your home as possible in a well-lit area. Thank you

REMINDER – BARK DUST COMING!

Written by

This is a reminder that beginning July 11, Rexius will begin blowing bark dust on beds in the CHOA neighborhoods on the golf course side. Please be sure to have your plant beds cleaned up prior to this time. We expect it to take several days to complete the entire CHOA area. A Garron employee will be on-site during this time to help minimize any plant damage.

If you do not wish to have bark on your property, please email Steve Chinn at schinno@gmail.com, no later than July 7 and include your name, phone number and address, to advise him that you do not wish to have bark this year.

CHOA on-line survey results

Written by

The results from the May 2022 CHOA on-line survey are in.  Homeowners were asked to answer 4 questions and provide additional comments if desired.

The best information is gathered from survey comments – both good and not so good! 

We had one comment regarding a review of insurance, and a few regarding specific landscaping concerns.  We would appreciate authors of those comments to reach out to any board member.  The Board members would be happy to follow up or answer those homeowners’ questions and comments.

41 people responded to the survey.  Below are the results.  (Not everyone responded to all questions.)

The results from Question 1 – are in line with responses across the country with regard to HOA board performance.  In general, most homeowners who live in HOA’s are happy with the HOA board.  The same is true here in Charbonneau.

The results from Question 2 – Regarding the grounds and neighborhoods, besides yourselves (Homeowners), and CHOA, the area around your homes may be maintained by the golf course and not CHOA.  The streets and parking areas are maintained by the City of Wilsonville.

The results of Question 3 –  We appreciated and thank you for the positive comments given.

The results from question 4 – the board agrees with the responders – we need to have a few more CHOA-wide events. 

  • A Food Truck was here on June 11th.
  • While keeping COVID in mind, the board is planning an open house (outside Rec Hall C) at the end of the July 13th Board meeting- stay tuned for more info.
  • The HOA is also considering an event by the CHOA putting green area for later in the summer. 
  • Generally, in January the board provides a Winter party or gathering.  (Due to COVID we have not held this event but are hoping in 2023 we will have it again)
  • The fourth Monday is April is always our Annual Meeting with cookies and coffee provided.

These events give all CHOA members a chance to meet outside or inside with your neighbors and discuss any items of concern with CHOA board members or just share a munchie, beverage of your choice and a partially-truthful story!

Other comments – Regarding the cost of the new club house and potential cost of the Edith Green Park Proposal.  These projects are with the Charbonneau Country Club (CCC) as the managers.  CHOA – (Charbonneau Homeowners Association) is separate from the CCC.  Our board is responsible for the CHOA group of homes including the common grounds around these homes, the pool areas and the CHOA Rec Hall.

We hope to continue using the questionnaire format to get feedback from CHOA residents from time to time.  This is your chance to provide feedback to the board.  If there are particular broad questions that you think would help the board to make well-informed decisions, please contact us.  We value your insight, experience, and desire to make Charbonneau better still!
