Gerri  referenced a list of business customers for members to sign up and reach out regarding all tee box, green and corporate sponsors. Gerri will forward the a master list to those members responsible for making the calls. All sponsorships must be in by May 18 to allow time to organize the signage and make new ones if necessary. The procedures will be the same as well as the venue - Portland Country Club and catering by Farrells. So lets think golf and start moving by planting the seeds for golfers and sponsors now.
