This is Newell’s second term as president of the PCLGA (previously, 2014-15) and she has been a member of the PCLGA since she and her husband, Bob, moved to PebbleCreek in 2007. She has served as treasurer, handicap chair, sunshine “girl”, club photographer, and chaired the 2012-13 Member/Guest Committee. She was also captain of the Tuscany Cholla golf league.
“The PCLGA has given me so many happy memories, so I wanted to give back to the ladies that make our league so wonderful,” said President Newell.
Vice President Goupil has been a member of the PCLGA since she and her husband, Dean, purchased their home in 2017, and she has been instrumental in welcoming new members to the PCLGA for the past five years in partnership with Sue White.

Secretary Elliott was an active member of the Rainier Golf and Country Club in Seattle for more than 30 years where she served on numerous boards and chaired major tournaments including Member Guest and Greens Committee.
Judy Garcia moved to Arizona in 2005 where she completed her 38-year career in retail management with Albertsons/Safeway where she mentored and supervised more than 144 stores.
