August 2010 Newsletter

From the President
Well, like usual it’s been an interesting month here at Canyon Country Club. I want to thank everyone that showed up for the special stockholders meeting that was held on July 12th. I think the members made the correct decision in approving the replacing of the well & and adding a variable speed drive that will hopefully add a few years of service to the pump and motor.

We had a big turnout for the Fourth of July festivities and I think we can deem them a huge success. I have heard from several members, of how wonderful the tournament was along with the fireworks and most people I have talked to are hoping to continue this tradition next year. A very big THANK YOU goes out to Casey for the planning and the promotion of the activities as well as the discharging of the fireworks. Thanks also go out to Mikel, Zach for their help. Last but certainly not least, the Lang’s for their suburb grilling. I know it was hot out there, but they did a great job of cooking.  Its events just like this that makes Canyon Country Club a special place.

All in all the club seems to be rocking right along, the number of rounds being played is still down quite a bit from last year, but I think that is going on everywhere.  We did pick up 4 new members last month, but we also lost 2 so our total membership is 155. Keep encouraging your friends and colleagues to become a part of CCC, we always need more members.
Hope to see you out on the course.
