Announcements

Board Meeting notes:

The golf tournament and Murder Mystery Dinner are canceled for this year. After much discussion at the board meeting on Wednesday the 16th, the board decided to cancel both fundraising events this year and concentrate on a membership drive, highlighted by a membership mixer. Due to the declining membership in our club, the board felt that nether fundraiser would be a success. A membership mixer committee is being formed and the first meeting will be this Wednesday the 23 at 5:30 at Quail Park Shannon Ranch. Contact Lauri, (laurimaguilar@gmail.com 559-936-5712) who will be chairing the committee, to let her know if you would like to be on that committee.
