| Hello once again to all our wonderful SAWGA
members.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome new members to our
group and also welcome back long standing members.
For those members who were at the Christmas play day and luncheon
(and that was nearly half of our members) I don't need to tell you what
a wonderful day we had. The weather was perfect and Teresa Ramirez organized
the day to perfection ,I thought Barbra Hemmi would be a hard act to
follow as she excelled in organization, but she passed on her knowledge
to Teresa and BAM now we have another great social chair. Sonterra did
us proud I believe Robert the Tournament organizer for Sonterra helped
Teresa an awful lot, I thank him for that, and also the caterer's surely
worked hard and the food was as my daughter in law would say Soooooooo
Gooooood. .
Ginger read the minutes of the last General meeting and they were
approved, Nancy White gave us the balance of our funds which seem
healthy around $5000 sorry can't be more precise but I forgot to write
it down and I haven't got the minutes yet. We also collected for the
battered womens shelter and collected a healthy $120. Jeannie Parsley
asked for nominations please for new board members to take effect 2006 -
2007 if there is anything you could volunteer for we would be most
appreciative, we only have four board meetings per year so it doesn't
take all your time and we all help each other, come on help, contact
Jeannie. Terry Lambert our web master asked me to read out a very nice
thank you letter, which I did, and many congratulations Terry on your
recent marriage. PJ our special tournament chair said that there was a
very high turnout for last Monday at the Hyatt and there would not be a
last Monday in December for obvious reasons, and so we can all look
forward! to January 30th last Monday, venue to be announced and hope the
turnout will be as good.
Jane ward presented Barbara Kale with the senior champion award, WELL
DONE Barbara. And well done to all the winners of the best two ball
competition it is a hard course and I think the scores proved that, but
it was fun, I am sure you would agree.
OK enough of that we can now look forward to Spring play day, but not
before we have many Friday's and last Monday's to play. You will
probably have seen by now Syd our Friday play day chair has posted on
the web our 2006 calendar which is excellent and really appreciated,
thank you Syd and also as you mentioned at the meeting the board as
approved that we start Friday's at 9am opposed to 8-30 which hopefully
will help members but in order to do this we are informed by the city
courses that we must not have slow play!! always remember to keep up
with the people in front not in front of the people behind. The other
decision the board passed was to enable members to bring a guest on a
Friday instead of just last Monday's as was the case, but only once for
the same guest and hopefully they will enjoy playing with us and join,
we can all help there and make new people very welcome.
OK I hope I haven't forgotten anything, all there is left for me to
do is WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A GREAT GOLFING 2006 NEW
YEAR,
JENNIFER GUIDRY |
