  • 18-holes of golf
  • shared golf cart
  • bottle of water
  • kashi granola bar
  • 2 closest-to-the-hole prizes!
  • most accurate drive prize! 
  • lots of fun!

Seeking Two 9-hole Coordinators
New Chapter Program for Monarch Bay

Looking We are looking for two members who would be willing to share the coordination of a new chapter program for "9-holers" at the Marina course at Monarch Bay in San Leandro.  We hope to do this on the 3rd Sunday of every month, with a 30-minute clinic by John Bearden, golf pro, followed by 9-hole play - all for a cost of $22!
 
Before this great opportunity can become a reality, we need 2 volunteers to:
  • track web signups from members
  • communicate with John as to the numbers participating each month
  • participate in the clinics and play
  • encourage chapter participants
  • and enjoy being a part of EWGA!
If you are interested in helping, contact Ann Marie McGee, leadership@ewganeb.org
 
Website Enhancements!
It's here!

 Sara Swafford has been working hard again to improve our chapter website! 
 
In the Events Calendar, you can see the total number of spaces available and the number of spaces left (unregistered) for each event.  If the number of spaces left is greater than zero, then you may still be able to register (although if it is after the deadline - a $10 late fee is included). 
 
AND - you can see who is registered for each event using your member logon! 
 
Just click on the Event Name in the Calendar and logon in the upper right-hand corner under Member Sign In, then click on "Who's Playing?" to see the list of members and guests who have registered for that event.  Names are listed in alphabetical order.
 
Great job Sara!
