The annual meeting was held at Pebble Creek Country Club on March 3, 2004. The meeting was called to order by President Conde Sargent at 8:10 A.M. with 52 of 101 Golden Boys in attendance. It was agreed by the membership that the Minutes from the Annual Meeting held on March 5, 2003 be accepted without a reading.
The treasurers report was given by Chuck Hite. Net funds available $1,567.08. Bud Wolf suggested that the board consider planting a tree with a plaque to honor outstanding members who passed away this year (Tom McDermott and John Parris).
Dine Around report was given by Doug Bond. Two events have been held this year with 61 in attendance for the Brick Street Cafe. A total of 71 enjoyed the outing at City Range Steak House in February. Peter David’s will host the group in March. Plans are being developed for the remainder of the year.
Social Chairman, Al Valenti, touched on several events to be held this year: LGA & Golden Boys Mixer in April, MGA-Golden Boys Mixer in July, LGA & Golden Boys Mixer #2 in August, Annual Picnic in September and the Annual Christmas Party set for December. Volunteers would be greatly appreciated.
The Member/Guest Tournament planning was covered by Chuck Hite. Plans call for seven flights of six teams each for a total of 42 teams — $300.00 per team. Sales packets have been developed for each person that sold signs last year.
Golf Chairman, Conde Sargent, reported that interclub assignments have been made and posted for pickup. Payment for each event is due no later than ten days prior to the scheduled date. It is requested that Conde be notified if a member will be unable to play in an event — an alternate will then be given the opportunity to participate. Monthly captains are needed for some of the remaining months — sign up in the pro shop.
The new club changes were touched on briefly. New rates, securing tee times and other information will be forthcoming from the Club as well as any changes pertaining to “in house guests” of club members.
Under new business it was decided, without opposition, that dues for 2004 should remain $25.00.
Proposed by-laws changes were covered by Chuck Hite.
All proposed by-law changes were passed without opposition including: the establishing of a “Social Membership” for members physically unable to play golf. “In each instance where the name ‘Pebble Creek Club’ appears in the by-laws, it shall be changed to read ‘Pebble Creek Country Club” The reason for a change in Article VI is that BB&T Bank no longer honors the “two signature check”. The treasurer shall maintain a checking account in a bank designated by the Board. The changes in article VII have to do with name changes in Section VII.1-Standing Committees, Section VII.2 -Tournament and Section VII.3 – Social.
No additional business was brought before the membership — a motion to adjourn was made by George Baker and seconded by Wendell Alderman.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:55 A.M.
