Volunteers Needed
NOW! Your Chapter Needs
You
 The Membership Committee Chair,
Margaret Hamersley, is looking for volunteers to
help stuff envelopes for a mass mailing of flyers for the March
Kick-Off. If you are available on Tuesday, February
5th at 5pm (or shortly thereafter) in the Walnut Creek area
contact Margaret at membership@ewganeb.org Your assistance
will be greatly appreciated.
Our chapter is also in need of one or more
members willing to manage the "9-Hole
Committee". This person would arrange with local golf
course(s) to reserve tee times for 4-8 players on at least one
Saturday or Sunday per month. This is a very important
position because it especially benefits our new and beginner
golfers, although all members are welcome to play. We would
like this person to volunteer well before the March Kick-Off.
If you are interested, contact Ann Marie McGee at
leadership@ewganeb.org
Last but far from least, our chapter is looking for
someone to chair our Chapter Championship Committee.
Our Chapter Championship tournament will be held June 21st at
Franklyn Canyon GC in Hercules. EWGA rules prohibit
the Chapter Championship Chair from playing in the Chapter
Championship tournament. For someone who was not planning to
play in the championship tournament but would like to volunteer for
this very important position, please contact Ann Marie
McGee at leadership@ewganeb.org as soon as
possible.
Our chapter cannot exist without volunteers. All board
members, committee chairs and their members are volunteers and all
gladly donate their time to make this chapter successful.
Please join us. You will find a great deal of support and friendship
among the members. |
Golf
