PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

 

Our outdoor facilities are now buzzing with Men’s Senior Softball on Monday nights, Men’s Softball on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights, and Women’s Softball on Thursday nights and Women’s Sand Volleyball on Wednesday nights. Come out and watch your favorite team play some evening.

 

The volunteer sign up sheets are now posted on the downstairs bulletin board for Germanfest. This year’s festival will be held June 4 through June 7. This is our single largest fund raiser of the year and we need ALL your help to make this happen. Last year we were unable to fill our allotted time slots. Let’s not let that happen again this year. Sign up today…

 

We’re also looking for help with this years William Whetstone Memorial Softball Tournament that is scheduled to be played July 11, 12, & 13. This tournament has grown to be one of the best tournaments in the entire Midwest and it brings thousands of visitors to our club. We need your help to make this beneficial to our club.

 

Remember to contact Mark Guitard if you’re interested in one of our high paying board positions.

 

Please get involved with your club. There were more board members than members at the April general membership meeting.

 

See you at the club

Jim Markland
