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!!!
