While not Valentine's Day, the MountainView Lady Putters shared the love by honoring their founding members and past presidents at the LouAnn Garvin Founder's Day luncheon on February 9, 2026. The meeting marks the beginning of a new year for MVLP, remembering the past and looking forward to the future. It honors our founder LouAnn Garvin, who started the group in 1998 with around 30 charter members. Today there are over 130 members and they continue to grow. The luncheon was emceed by Carla DeWolf the new 2026 President, and beautifully decorated by the Founder's Day committee. 100 Origami paper cranes, made by Mary William's daughter and granddaughter, decorated the tables as a symbol guidance, support, and kinship, alongside napkins folded into bird's nests. Cranes stay together for life forming strong, long-lasting bonds. Putters are a "flock" who soar high and support one another.

Past MVLP Presidents were recognized and thanked for their service to the group. Also recognized were the winners for the month of January.

Past Presidents: Mary Baglien, Maryjo Lewis, Kim Halper, Marcia Munich, Maude Ruffin, Cathy Scott, Pat Wells, Gay Uhl, Pam Smith, EJ Snearly, Jean Krause, Roberta Wisniewski, Patty Stark, and Roxy Heacock.
