Seeking Social Committee Chair

 LookingWithin a few weeks after the March 8th Kick-Off we will have New Member Orientation get-togethers.  We are looking for someone who would like to coordinate these events and similar types of non-golf social events.  This person would also work with other committees to assist them with planning and implementing social and networking activities in their programs (like Vintner's or the End-of-Year event). 
  If you are interested in volunteering for this position, or being on this committee, contact Ann Marie McGee at leadership@ewganeb.org
Wanted: New Members for 2008

 Do you know someone interested in joining EWGA?  Our 2008 kickoff and new member drive is coming up on March 8th.  Information is being mailed out to women in the east bay who are paid subscribers to Golf for Women (list provided through EWGA) and inviting them to think about EWGA.  We would also like to send out information to others who may be interested as well.
 
If you have names and addresses of prospects who should receive this information, email Margaret Hamersley at membership@ewganeb.org  
9-Holes for 2008 !

 Starla Chimienti is our new 9-hole chair and is planning the schedule and courses for 2008.  If you are new to golf, do not always have time to play 18, want to play some 9 hole courses and 18 hole courses, working up to playing 18, or any or all of these - 9-holes is for you!  So watch the eBlasts and web site for more information.
