Treasure’s Report:
Richard Webb presented the treasures report and the draft final financial statement for 2017.
The proposed budget for 2018 was presented and again reflects the reduced number of Golden Boys members and the continued reduction in participation in Golden Boys events across the board, including the Christmas Party. This year’s party required a larger subsidy than normal as we did not have enough participants to reach the minimum guarantee. A smaller room will be booked for next year. The motion was made, seconded and approved to accept the proposed budget for 2018.
The final 2017 summary as well as the 2018 budget will be presented at the Annual Golden Boys Breakfast meeting in March.
Richard proposed the Golden Boy dues for 2018 be increased to $30 for full members and $15 for social members. A motion was made, seconded and approved to accept the proposal.
Membership dues announcement will be emailed by Conde Sargent by January 1st. The dues must be paid for Golden Boy members by February 5, 2018.
Golden Boys Annual Directory
Conde Sargent has again graciously agreed to put together the 2018 “Golden Boys Annual Directory.” The Directory will be distributed electronically once again this year. To have the 2018 Directory ready for distribution by the Golden Boys annual breakfast it is critical that any additions or changes to the directory information for each member by February 5th, 2018 along with the dues checks.
Golden Boys Annual Meeting and Breakfast
The annual Golden Boys meeting and breakfast will be announced shortly but will be held in early March.
Social Chairman’s Report
Jay Gaskin is crafting a preliminary Dine-Around schedule for 2018. The initial plan is for four events in 2018 potentially at City Range, Boca, Peddler and one other.
Golf Chairman’s Report:
Jim Ghrist reported that the interclub dates have been set for 2018 and will be sent to the Golden Boys membership along with the interclub selection forms. Jim will email the interclub selection form to the membership by January 19th. The form must be returned to Jim promptly but no later than February 16th so that he has time to finalize the interclub participants by the Golden Boys annual breakfast meeting. The 10-play rule will apply to determine those Golden Boys eligible to play in the interclub events. 10 plays must be achieved prior to the 1st club event of the year unless a waiver has been requested by the member to the board and granted.
As always, we need volunteer captains for the 2018 Golden Boys Match Play event and the Golden Boys Ryder Cup event. If you are willing to help with these events, please contact Jim.
A master calendar of 2018 events will be put together and distributed to the membership
