LUCKY NINE
CLUB UPDATES
FOR MEMBERS
JERRY AND
LIANNE TIU
In this issue, we look back on the club events and activities in 2013.
The past year saw the Highlands courses packed with games: the
Ladies Cup, Willy Os 2 at the Third Nine, and the Third Quarter Round,
to name a few. These come with many other events elsewhere at the
club: the Chevrolet Spin launch, Porsches 50th anniversary, our charity
nights with the Villanuevas and the concert for the Yolanda survivors,
and our tribute to the recently departed National Artist, I.P. Santos.
Weve had a year of devotion, as seen in our religious calendar, where
we remembered whats most important in our hearts.
We also have our Club President, Jerry Tiu, on the cover with Mrs.
Lianne Tiu. They have led us in many of our initiatives and events, and
now we take a closer look at the role the club plays in their lives.
This year promises a lot for us, too, with the Midlands Lucky Nine
being the stage for the prestigious Belle Cup. Of course, April heralds
our anniversary celebration. The calendar is packed, and to think this is
just the first quarter were talking about. Life at the club goes on in its
elevated style.
It is these events and amenities, enjoyed with the community, that
make life at the club the rarefied experience it is. See you at the club!

Bowed are our heads for a moment in prayer;
Oh, but were grateful an glad to be there.
Home from the east land an home from the west,
Home with the folks that are dearest an best.
Out of the sham of the cities afar
Weve come for a time to be just what we are.
Here we can talk of ourselves an be frank,
Forgetting position an station an rank.

All that befalls the individual is for the good of the whole.
That by itself is warrant enough for us; but if you look closely you

Palace, usually feasting on a variety of dim sum, the salted
fish and eggplant a constant dish at their table. Most of
all, Mr. Tiu prefers the Steakhouses Prime Rib, his choices
gravitating toward the simple and comforting. With the
varied cuisines available at the Club, one may be reminded
of the Epicurean belief that the pleasure is only due in part
to the food, with the rest supplied by the company of ones
nearest and dearest.

During the cooler months of the year, the mornings find
the slopes blanketed in fog, giving the impression that the
entire community is floating in the clouds. With the sunlight
diffused in the mist, the rarefying the air that wafts here and
there, making the residents feel as if their dreams followed
them into the waking world. Here, anything could be
possible: nurturing a family, nourishing the body, enriching
the mind, expanding the heart. This is the Club as seen beside
its President. Kensho waits just over the next rise.

Conquer
the Pyramid
The rulers of Ancient Egypt came to life at last as little
pharaohsalive and as mummiesand cute Cleopatras marched
to the Sports Center Hall to join the party at the Pharaohs
Pyramid. Upon entering the realm of King Tut, kids received loot
bags from mummies shambling all around the pyramids interiors.
The Pharaohs Pyramid Challenge caught the attention of the
little monarchs, who were given challenges written on papyrus
scrolls. Some turned their mommies into mummies; others
collected gems and precious stones. At the end of the challenges,
Club President Jerry Tiu and General Manager Clara Kramer gave
out the prizes: J. Co Donuts gift certificates, Gelato Eduardo gift
bags, and for the major prize, an iPad Mini.
One final game of hide-and-seek gave the children one last
chance to enjoy the sponsors treats: URC, Gelato Eduardo,
Selecta, Villa del Conte, Toy Kingdom, Tiny Buds, Nestle, Oishi,
and J.Co Donuts.
