December 2013

From the President

As I write this, I am looking forward to turkey and dressing in just a few days. Hope everyone has a great holiday season. Christmas is quickly approaching and I am looking forward to our club Christmas banquet. If you have not been to one of these you are really missing out.  It’s a great time with extraordinary dinner fare by our own Teresa Villalobos.

Well we have enjoyed a lot of beautiful days this fall and the golf has been great. Hope we see lots of moisture this winter, the course is in need of water.  Pray for Rain (and snow!!!!!)

As most of you know by now, the board voted to not renew Tim’s contract.  A search committee is being formed to look for a new manager for the club. The board is in search of a person who can help us utilize all assets of our club to increase membership and keep costs in line with our income.  As you all know, keeping cost down, but providing the membership with an enjoyable golf and club product is always a challenge.  Any thoughts you have on this and other matters are always welcome by the board of directors.  Give Courtney a call if you would like to be placed on the agenda of the next meeting.

Speaking of the Board, Mark Sowers is heading up the Nominating Committee for next years board members.  There are going to be four places open and we need good quality leadership.  Let Mark or Courtney know if you or someone you know is interested in running for these places.

Remember the club when you need a place for a party during the holidays.  Rates are very reasonable and these parties help support our club and employees. Come on out and enjoy the holidays with your fellow club members!

Happy Holidays!!!   
Travis

Ladies Auxiliary meetings have been moved back to Thursday nights for the winter, starting at 6:00pm.

The Ladies' Auxiliary will receive a portion of the sell of the ticket and the Amarillo Education Foundation will receive a portion.
