A-6 THE FRIDAY FLYER DECEMBER 16, 2016 Pat Kemble receives ‘Above and Beyond’ award
CLIPPS is an organization made up of past presidents of the Women’s Golf Club. Ten years ago CLIPPS came up with the idea of recognizing someone in the golfing community for their vol- untary contributions. The annual award was named “Above and Beyond.”
Canyon Lake Golf Pro Pat Kemble is the recipient of this year’s award, and the first male to receive it. Pat has been active in the Junior Golf Program, Pismo Getaway, club tournaments, the non-resident membership program and fund-raising tournaments. He has made donations to the Woman’s Club Fash- ion Show and silent auction, Women’s Golf Club Member/Member, Fiesta Day Committee, Lions Club Golf Tourna- ment and many others.
Pat also volunteers and donates to the PGA for Kids, raises money by selling used golf balls for the Fields of Honor,
which is a charity that provides scholar- ships to children and spouses of fallen and disabled veterans.
Pat is a sportsman. He played ice hockey in Canada at the age of three and started playing golf at age 11. He be- came involved in the PGA several years later. In 2014, Pat was recognized by the Southern California Golf Association as Pro of the Year. In October of this year, he was named Teacher of the Year by the PGA.
Former Women’s Golf Club President Mary Craton says, “Since he came here, Pat has made a huge difference in the professionalism and management of our club. We are fortunate to have him.”
Past recipients of the award include Joanna Spiller, Brenda Adams, Mary Craton, Rose Hanover, Rita Wacker, Laverne Cann, Ura Furry and Maxine Whalen.

Library’s Buck-a-Bag book sale ends tomorrow
Saturday is that last day to take ad- vantage of the Canyon Lake Library’s week long “Buck-a-Bag” book sale. This is an “off-the-shelf” sale, which means customers choose their books to fill the bags from the usual sale locations in the library then purchase the entire bag of books for only $1. Shoppers are invited to bring their own bag or use one provided by the library.
There is no limit to the number of bags an individual may purchase. Select a few favorites and throw in a few items for that holiday gift list. The shelves will be restocked daily with new items as supplies last.
A spokesperson for the library says,
“Gently used books make excellent gift card holders for those special people on your list. When traveling what better book than one you can leave behind or provide to a friend.”
Donations are accepted and especially welcomed in the days prior to and during the sale. Items accepted include books of all kinds, audio books, music, CDs, and DVDs. The Library does not ac- cept older text books, encyclopedias and Reader’s Digest condensed books.
All proceeds from the book sale go to the Friends of Canyon Lake Library who support programs and provide materials for the Canyon Lake Library.
