Housekeeping: A holiday gift (6) of $100 was unanimously approved for Mark O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien, Steve Mann, Steve Knowles, Jay Packett, Dottie Vesperman and Sean Cahalene.<\/p>\n
After the housekeeping discussion, Ed stated the purpose of our special meeting. Discuss ways that we can increase membership in the Association. The Association currently has 264 members of roughly 800 male Course members. This is down from 321 the previous year. We are dealing with the perception that membership in the Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Association doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have value. The perception is that the Association only runs Wednesday play. We need to do more to change this perception.<\/p>\n
Regarding Wednesday play, of the 264 Association members, 55 plays Wednesday golf. We need to do more to draw more players. Following are some of the comments made:<\/p>\n
It was agreed that the two things we would address first is weekend events and Wednesday play. Two sub-committees were appointed. For Wednesday play Peter Hall, Rob Harris, Ray Gomez and Mike Austin were appointed. For Weekend Events, Marc Fontaine, Ken Jones and Alan Godfried were appointed.<\/p>\n
Ed asked that sub-committee reports be submitted for our January meeting.<\/p>\n
None.<\/p>\n
Ed Lewis gave the Treasurer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Report for Dick Emmert. We have a balance of $5,302.19 in our checking account. We will spend $600 for the Holiday Gifts and $1,000 for the Nauset High Scholarship before we start collecting membership dues for next year. The report was approved unanimously.<\/p>\n
The minutes for the 11\/3\/2009, 10\/21\/2009 meetings and the 11\/03\/09 Annual Meeting were approved unanimously and sent to Mark O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien and Bob Weiss.<\/p>\n
Currently, there are 264 Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Association members out of about 800 male golf course members. The $750 approved at the 11\/3\/09 meeting for membership marketing activities was unanimously rescinded.<\/p>\n
No report.<\/p>\n
Rob Harris, the new webmaster, is working on a new Association site and blog. It will be available soon.<\/p>\n
Stote Elsworth has resigned. Selectmen are considering replacements.<\/p>\n
The Commission continues to look at member rates.<\/p>\n
The next Commission Meeting is December 9, 2009 at 1pm at the Course.<\/p>\n
No report.<\/p>\n
