&lt;p&gt;Calling all Hudson Valley businesswomen (and businessmen)!&amp;nbsp; You are invited to participate in our annual Women in Business Golf Outing. Enjoy 18 holes of golf on the beautiful Winding Hills Golf Course. Come with your own foursome (foursome can have a maximum of one male per team), or we&amp;rsquo;ll match you with other players. Whether you&amp;rsquo;re new to the game or LPGA-bound, you&amp;rsquo;ll enjoy this relaxing fun day of golf. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Special Introduction to Golf School &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you always wanted to learn the game of golf, but were reluctant to venture out on your own, take advantage of our special Women in Business Golf School. Gil Anderson, Golf Pro at Winding Hills, will be conducting a three-hour golf school that is guaranteed to have you hitting the ball by the end of the day. While the rest of the field is out on the course, Gil will be teaching you the basics of the game, how to properly grip the club, how to execute a good swing, how to putt, how to chip, and lots more. It&amp;rsquo;s an opportunity to learn in a friendly, fun atmosphere. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.orangeny.org/CWT/External/WCPages/WCEvents/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=3261</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:23:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Marketing Committee meeting 6/27/2013 8:00 AM - 6/27/2013 9:00 AM</title><description>
