December Newsletter

From the President
It’s hard to believe we come to the end of another year. We have some seen some very positive changes over the course of the last 12 months, and we are optimistically looking for even more changes in the coming year.

While nothing is final yet, we have had some very good responses from some of the grants that we have sent out. We should not be discouraged as I have said before, we are at the end of a lot of foundations fiscal year but we will continue to work to find assistance. My hope is by our annual stockholders meeting will have some good news for everyone.

One item that the grant committee is looking into is to look for some funding to rebuild the clubhouse and Proshop. Dick Archer and the grant committee are putting together ideas that we might consider as possible floor plans. If you have any ideas that you feel that needs to be looked into, please let someone know. As we get closer to a “final floor plan” that we would like to submit to the grant writers we will keep everyone informed.

At the last regular board meeting the Board of Directors approved Mikel’s request to go cart path only during the winter months. We realize that this may be an inconvenience to some people but it will make for a much healthier fairway next spring.

Don’t forget the Canyon CC Christmas party on December 12th, mark your calendars and join us for a holiday dinner and entertainment.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Jerry Neufeld – President
Canyon Country Club

From the Golf Shop

Happy Holidays from all of the staff at your Canyon Country Club. I hope everyone had a great golfing year and has an even better one next year. I would like to thank, once again, Mikel Walser and his crew, for their hard work all year long. I personally think that we have the best 9 hole facility in the state and with out their hard work that would not be possible. Remember that you can do your part in helping them out by sanding your divots and repairing your ball marks on the green.

Christmas Open House

I will be hosting my annual Christmas Open House on December 12th. All merchandise in the shop will be marked down and you will have chance to win an even bigger discount on the items that you would like to purchase. There will be free gift wrapping, holiday treats and spirits, and good prices on quality merchandise. This will also be a good time to clear all that credit that you have won throughout the year. Don’t forget – the sales starts at 9:00 a.m.
