performing


"Diana Sings the Divas"


Feel free to "DRESS UP" as DIVAS or DEVOS (wearing hats or fascinators or boas) as she sings the famous songs of some fabulous Divas.

Nine months after a traumatic, life-shattering fall, Diana came back to performing on March 22, 2024.


“I’m not able to walk – but I’m able to sing,” she said.



Although confined to a wheelchair , Diana thanks God her voice is as pure and strong as ever and she takes great pride in entertaining and bringing joy to her audiences!

Donations


We will be collecting non-expired non-perishable food items at the door for the Wildwood Food Pantry .


Volunteers Needed for 2026/2027 Season


After a fun and exciting two years as President, Arthur Tucker will be stepping down at the end of this season.


Hazel Shackleton will also be stepping down as the Treasurer/Registrar at the end of this season.


Everything continues to move forward in a positive direction with the club, and it is healthy financially and socially.


This provides opportunities for an individual or group to come forward and get more involved during this season.


Individuals can take on the roles as-is, try out the roles, volunteer for a specific amount of time, or we can examine new ways to break up the work (like having different individuals organize monthly meetings).

Please contact Arthur Tucker at this email address with any questions, suggestions, and feedback.

Are you interested in finding some fellow Loonies and Toonies to golf with this season?

If you are, please let us know and we will try to group together those of similar interests.




Give us a general idea of your skill level, what type of courses you like to play, what time of the year you plan to be in The Villages, and whether you are interested in singles, couples, or mixed groups.




If there is enough interest we will put the individuals with similar interests in contact with each other to sort out the details.
