Wardrobe for Opportunity
Accessory Drive for March 8 Kickoff

 WardrobeThe Northeast Bay Chapter has proudly supported Wardrobe for Opportunity for the past 3 years.  As part of this support, we provide a cash donation from funds raised at our Vintner's golf event, host a table at their annual fund raising luncheon, and encourage our membership to support through clothing and accessory donations delivered to the Wardrobe drop off locations all year long. 
  Michelle Augenstein, Executive Director will be presenting a brief overview and receiving a check from NEB-EWGA at our March 8 kickoff event.  We will also be doing a special accessories drive at this event.  Please clean out drawers/closets and collect from your friends for the following business/work appropriate items:
 
Jewelry (new or gently used)
Purses (new or gently used)
Shoes (new or gently used)
Scarves (new or gently used)
 
In addition to the above the following are always appreciated and in demand.
 
Makeup (new/unopened)
Pantyhose (new/unopened)
 
If you do have clothing donations - please review the requirements and drop off locations and make these contributions on your own, before or after the kickoff event.
 
And are we ever proud of our own chapter members who also volunteer and support Wardrobe individually.  Laura Scott, NEB Chapter Secretary, is a "dresser" and Paula Heckler is a board member.
 
Please contact Ann Marie McGee, leadership@ewganeb.org if you have any questions about the kickoff donations.
San Mateo Golf Show
Volunteers Needed

 Volunteers are needed for the Northern California Golf Show at the San Mateo County Events Center, March 14-16.  Joanne Segovia, our Sponsorship Chair, attended this show last year before she had even heard about the EWGA.  She spoke to an EWGA representative from the San Francisco chapter who inspired her to join.  She signed up right after the show. 
  Here's your chance to get the word out about EWGA and support women's golf!  The golf show provides us a booth in exchange for our help at the show - such a deal!  Volunteers will be staffing the EWGA booth, passing out fliers at the door and assisting in the activity areas.  Shifts are available on 3/14 (10:30-6), 3/15 (8:30-5), and 3/16 (8:30-4). Volunteers will receive free show admission, free parking, activity coupons, and for those staying the whole day, free lunch!  How can you beat that?!
   Please contact Caran Colvin at our sister chapter at education@ewga-sfbac.org to sign up.
 
For more information about the golf show click: www.norcalgolfshow.com . NCGA card carrying members who do not volunteer can receive $3 off admission fee.  For non-NCGA members there is a $1 off admission coupon at the above website.

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
Donations/Prizes Needed for our March Kick-Off

 Do you know a business (maybe your own) that would be willing to donate an item or two for our March Kick-Off?
 
We are also seeking prizes to give away.
 
 In the past we've had golf related items: golf balls, golf lessons, equipment, green fees w/cart for two-somes or four-somes, as well as non-golf related donations such as dinner for two at nice restaurants, gift baskets, etc.
 
 Contact Joanne Segovia at sponsorship@ewganeb.org or call her cell at 925-639-2464 with your contacts or donations/prizes.
