The President, Mr. Jack Parham explained all of the possibilities involved in these options and also provided additional information on methods of financing this cost. Mr. Parham also explained the present financial situation of the club. Numerous comments were received from the Members during this meeting. The Directors now plan on taking this information and continue to prepare for the final membership vote in August. Please watch for additional notices on this meeting. If you need more information on this meeting or need copies of the previous handouts, please let the office know.

     We have two names to submit to the membership for election to the Board of Directors in October. However, the Directors are requesting three members be submitted to the membership for the election of one Director. So, if you are interested in running for the Board of Directors, please contact Mr. Tom Looney, one of the Directors, or notify the office.

     As most of you know today will be my last day as Interim General Manager. Mr. Jeff Curtis will assume the duties of General Manager/Director of Golf effective August 1, 2008. From the close working relationship that Jeff and I have had over the last four months, I have no doubt that he will do our club well. However, he will need your support and understanding. The position of General Manager is a very difficult and time-consuming job. That person must be able to make many timely decisions in the day-to-day operations of your club. And, as you know we are not able to satisfy everyone with these decisions. I know that Jeff will do his best to make the decision that he feels is right for our club.

     Finally, I would like to express my appreciation for all of the support that I have received from the Membership and Employees over the past ten months. Our Club will continue to do well with the work that our Board of Directors is doing and the leadership that our new General Manager, Jeff Curtis, will provide.

     Bob Perkinson, Interim General Manager.
