Get ready to tee of the season!
You're cordially invited to the SGAA Tee Off Banquet on February 20th from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Honey Creek Golf Course, Conyers. Join us for a delicious meal, exciting announcements, and a chance to reconnect with fellow members.
Reservations can be made by sending your check — made out to SGAA — for $25.00 annotated as “Tee Off Banquet" to:
Tom Vardase
3502 Johns Road
Tucker, GA 30084
Reservations MUST be received by February 14 for the banquet.
We hope to have at least 75 members present to vote on a proposed change to our constitution.
Although we currently have no specific amendments, other than this change, to our constitution, we wish to make it equivalent to what was originally intended. Currently, the constitution states:
“At any meeting of the membership of this Association, this Constitution may be amended by a majority vote of all members who are present and voting. Seventy-five (75) members shall constitute a quorum.”
With the membership capped at 355 members, the above represented twenty-one percent of the total membership.
The proposed change would keep the percentage the same but based upon the total members as of February 1 of the current year. The wording would be:
“At any meeting of the membership of this Association, this Constitution may be amended by a majority vote of all members who are present and voting. Twenty one percent of the members as of February 1of the current year shall constitute a quorum.”
We encourage all members to review the proposed amendment carefully before the meeting.
Assuming we meet the seventy-five-member requirement (in person or via proxy votes), there will be a chance for questions and discussions.
If you are not able to attend, please complete the proxy form that was emailed to you. Fill out the form and submit, as stated on the form, prior to the Feb. 20th banquet
We look forward to celebrating the start of a fantastic golf season with you!
Table Training Workshop
Want more information on what a table worker really is?
To all current and aspiring full-time and alternate table workers. We are holding our annual table worker summit at 10 AM on Thursday, February 6th at the Country Club of Gwinnett in the Annex building.
We currently have at least three full-time table positions open and are also looking for alternate workers to help out when full-time members have scheduling conflicts, or even just want to take a cruise or address other non-golf sorts of things. If you aren't currently a table worker or alternate, and wish to find out more about it, come along and learn more about both the benefits and challenges of being a table worker.
The agenda includes a discussion of some of the challenges we've been facing; sharing of best practices; a recap/discussion regarding the duties and responsibilities of the tables (to include some new/emerging duties); and changes to our SOP..
Following the formal meeting, any who want to learn more about the computer operation are welcome to stay for an overview/tutorial.
Lunch to be provided.
RSVP to Larry Fauconnet (email or text preferred, but voice is fine too; however, be advised that if I don't recognize the number, I normally assume it's a sales call and let it go to voicemail - which I sometimes don't get for some reason).
