Unfinished Business Magnetic Name Tags 18/9 Hole Mixer - The mixer will be held on March 25. The sign up sheet is in the locker room. Cindy Hamilton is working on a game for the day. Pairings will be made, mixing 9ers and 18 holers. Rules Meeting – The rules seminar will be held on March 18 at 1:00 in the mansion. There are many changes this year so everyone should plan to come. Husbands, etc are invited as well. The event will be posted in the golf shop, the ladies locker room and Diane Thompson will send out another e-mail reminding everyone. Committee Reports Captain 1. Sassy Sixties – Green Valley will host the Sassy Sixties this year. We need lots of volunteers – spotters, bag help, runners and cashiers. The first day the event will start at 1:00 and the second at 8:00 a.m. Applications to play in it are in the Green Book. 2. Rally for the Cure – Julie was contacted to see if Green Valley ladies would participate in it this year. Money goes to breast cancer. Since Safequest is already scheduled for June this year, we will consider it for next year. Many voiced their approval of it as a charity event. 3. Approval of Budget – The budget will be discussed and hopefully approved at a brief meeting after lunch today when the Board will reconvene. 4. Meeting Time – Julie brought up for discussion whether to continue meeting in the morning or to change the meetings back to afternoon. A vote of the Board approved keeping the meetings in the morning. 5. Changes in Green Book – There have been several changes in the green book (See attached list). Julie will also publish in the Key and on the web site. Co-Captain – Joanna Chew reported that June 3rd will be charity day for Safequest. She has already written to the three major donators from last year – Ledgewood, Costco, Jelly Belly, and will follow up with them. She will post a sheet for additional donations. The pros have all agreed to donate a lesson. Di Thompson suggested that many of the members of the ladies’ group will donate for the occasion. $75 has been set aside for purchase of raffle prizes. Joanna will wait to see if it is needed. She wants to see what donations come in. Handicap – Diane Kelly reported that she is still entering cards and hopes to complete the task within a week or two. After that, a meeting of Mark and some of the ladies will be held to look at how the program suggests holes be handicapped and make a decision. Membership – Per Julie, we have gotten two new members as a result of the change to the invitational which requires those who wish to play to be members of the group. There have been some complaints from ladies who are not members and they are going to bring the matter before the Green Valley Board of Directors. Corresponding Secretary – Carolyn Roth was not present but was contacted by Julie to have a card sent to Joan Mumaugh who is recovering from surgery. Open Day – Lorraine reported that the WGANC meeting was very good. This year all requests and sign ups will be handled by the computer. Those who are selected to play in an open day will go to WGANC.com to find out date, time, dress code, etc for the events. All information will be there 5 weeks prior to the open day. Some clubs are exempt and that list is posted. Diane Thompson asked how the players will be chosen if a lot sign up and suggested a lottery if more than 2 sign up for any event. Lorraine agreed to do the lottery. Invitational - Sarah Johnson and Sue Shively reported that the 1st day will be a modified Chapman Scotch. Discussion was held about that format and the inability of people to post those scored. Julie said she feels the Invitational committee should make that decision. Motion was made and approved to accept the format as proposed by the Invitational committee. North Bay Team Play – Diane Thompson reported that the sign up sheet is up. The lowest 8 indexes will be taken each time. Futures – Ann Gemmer reported that the money is within budget. WGANC Ambassador – Pat Collins reported that WGANC is trying to get clubs to assist each other to make things run more smoothly. She suggested that once a month after golf at lunch we should have a discussion of some rules, the Green Book, etc. to keep our members more educated. Meeting was adjourned at 8:25 a.m. Respectfully Submitted, Lynne Waslohn The meeting reconvened at 2:40 for purposes of discussing and approving the budget for this year. Melody Scott explained that she had only increased the following items: cost for rosters was increased from $925 to $1,000 anticipating a price increase; and gifts for the pros from $300 to $425 as that has not been changed in several years. $25.00 was also allocated for Futures this year. The budget was approved by a vote of the Board and the meeting was adjourned at 3:00. |
