EWMGA BOARD MEETING

JANUARY 8, 2013

This Eagle Watch Men’s Golf Association (EWMGA) Board meeting was started at 6:00 pm in the Eagle Watch Club House.  Board members attending were Jim Gould, Gary Janos, Frank Peters, Marc Reinecke, Erik Rosengren, David Scott, Sergio Silva, Bob Smith and Larry Terry.  Absentees were Tony Jones and Bruce Worthington.  Phil Suiter of the Canongate/Eagle Watch staff was also in attendance.

The election of 2013 Board Officers was chaired by David as the Acting Secretary.  Nominated and elected by the attendees were Gary Janos (President), Jim Gould (Vice President), David Scott (Secretary) and Erik Rosengren (Treasurer).  The Board recognized and welcomed the newly elected Board members (Gary, David, Erik, Marc, Sergio and Larry).

Erik presented the Treasurer’s Report depicting a December 31, 2012 yearend bank balance of $1,215.87 with no outstanding debts.  He also reported that 2012 yearend membership stood at 112 and that 2013 current membership was 70.

It was agreed that additional efforts need to be taken to publicize this organization within the Eagle Watch and Bentwater club membership in order to maximize the EWMGA membership.  A membership committee (Gary, Sergio, Mark and Bob) was established to organize this effort.
