CBW/CCBN Golf Tournament
Skamania Lodge Golf Course
9:00 AM Shotgun Start, $150
Skamania Lodge Golf Course is surrounded by woodlands, giving it an entirely secluded feel. The course sits along the north bank of the Columbia River Gorge. Golfers shouldn't be surprised if they are joined by some of the abundant wildlife that call the course home. The terrain also provides a variety of challenges, ranging from dramatic elevation changes to mature trees lining the fairways. Water comes into play frequently, especially on the front nine, and the landing areas are extremely tight. The yardage listed on the scorecard, 6,025 yards, does not accurately reflect the challenges of this golf course so be prepared for a formidable test. Club selection, course management, and accuracy are all important factors in this round.

A Sea Change for the Economic Outlook
Craig Dismuke, Vining Sparks
The economic environment has turned quickly as trade negotiations between the U.S. and China have deteriorated further than expected. While a solution could come quickly, this appears increasingly unlikely. Moreover, with inflation running below the Fed’s target, this environment has brought a 2019 rate cut into play. In this presentation, we will discuss the extent of the current malaise, our expectation for a temporary rate cut, and the outlook for a choppy path ahead.
