EWMGA-Sponsored Halloween Night Golf Tournament: 

This event is scheduled for November 11^th with Mark Dickson and Jim Gould serving as tournament co-chairmen.  There are currently five teams signed-up for participation.  This should be a “break-even” event.

EWMGA-Sponsored Superintendent’s Revenge Tournament: 

This event, scheduled for November 13^th, has been postponed due to lack of sufficient sign-ups.  We are going to attempt re-scheduling the tournament for December 10^th.

2011 Member Appreciation Night: 

As discussed last month, we are attempting to combine an Annual Membership meeting with an appreciation for their support during this year.  A tentative date of Thursday night (December 15^th) has been established with Gary coordinating with the Club for arrangements (including complimentary refreshments).  The ability to maximize attendance and control expenses was discussed.

New Business: 

The 2012 membership drive was discussed.  Gary is to create his annual note to the current members to recap 2011 activities and encourage early sign-ups for next year.  The note is to include how memberships can be paid which will again provide the ability to automatically bill to the member club account in their January, 2012 statement.

The new Canongate Golf tee time reservation process was reviewed with recognition that each member can make two tee requests and that, if a member number is used and that individual makes a second tee time request both times will be automatically removed from the system.

There was no further new business and this meeting was adjourned.  The next regular Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday night (December 12^th) starting at 6:00 pm.

 Respectively submitted:  David Scott - Secretary
