Donations Needed for our March Kick-Off

Volunteers Needed NOW!
Your Chapter Needs You
We need 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.
