WLECOME NEW MEMBERS!
SOCIAL
We kicked off the NASCAR season with the Daytona party. It was rather lightly attended but everybody had a great time. Thanks social committee girls for another job well done! Our next social function is our annual pitch tourney/fish fry/silent baked good auction-the one event that may set us apart from every other club! Play begins at 1:00 p.m.-try and sign-up by 12:30. We’ll cook fish during play and we’ll run our auction until play ends. You can participate in all or just part of the day. Come out and check the action and the baked goods or just have a piece of fish. This auction has always been a fun little fund raiser. So bring out your favorite baked goodies and help raise a little dough for the club. Sorry-hopefully that’s my worst pun of the year!
We are closing the kitchen for Gary’s spring vacation the week of 3/12. Also during this week we intend to redecorate the bar room. Please excuse our mess.
GOLF
Golf season approaches-here’s a couple of early items. This is the last year of a 3 year experiment with our golf handicap system. Last year’s participation was very weak-we need at least 20 people per year to keep the system in house. So if you want it to stay, sign up, pay, and use the system. Cost remains $12-sign up at the pro shop. We still have some unpaid cart shed spots. Carts will be pulled 3/15-weather permitting. We have a waiting list for spots-if you’d like to keep yours-see me now!
Saturday March 10 we’re having an open house to help our friend and neighbor, Vi Pearce, celebrate her 88th birthday. The hours are 2-4pm-stop by for cake and coffee-cards would be most welcome. For those of you who don’t know- Vi and her late husband Pete-ran the Walton Club for 15 years 1959-1974 and our club would not exist today if not for Pete and Vi.
Here’s a new addition to the notes-a quarterly update from your board-
Hello members! The board is going to start adding a quarterly report to the newsletter to let you know what has been going on. The main bar will be getting some work starting in the beginning of March. Please come out and help if you find time, Kirk should be able to give you additional details. The men’s room will also be having some work done to it before long. Please bear with us during the construction. It has been discussed paving the cart path just north of the clubhouse to the causeway. The board will be making plans closer to golf season, or at least as soon as the weather permits. The extension of the ladies #6 tee box is underway and will be a great improvement to the course. Soon we are also hoping to add some gravel to the south cart shed. Do you have any suggestions or complaints? We would love to hear it! See any board member so it can be brought up at the next meeting! Thank you, The 2007 Walton Club Board
