MARCH 2009 INDIANOLA COUNTRY CLUB NEWSLETTER

Presidents Message
                This spring is a very important time for our club.  The economy has had an effect on our membership and we are down about 10 memberships from last year.  We are currently in good financial condition, but our 2009 budget assumes we can recruit at least 20 new members this spring.  This will be a challenge.  However, the new dues structure and the new member special provide us with an opportunity to have a great year.  The lower dues for younger members, both single and family, will make the club attractive to an age group where we have only a few current members.  Recruiting a significant number of younger members will be great for the clubs future.  The new member special with two years of discounted dues has generated a good deal of interest in club memberships, but we need your help in recruiting new members.  If only 10% of us recruited one new member we would meet our new membership goal and have a good year.  As an incentive, you can save $150 on your dues next winter for each new member you recruit. The details of the New Member Special can be found at http://www.indianolacountryclub.com/prospectivemembers.html.  If you know of a potential new member, Jason would be happy to send them information about the club and our membership special.  Just email or call him with the contact information. (iccpgapro@hotmail.com or 961-3303) Thanks for your help.

Kitchen to Re-Open with Lunch Special
                The kitchen will re-open on Thursday March 12th after being closed for two weeks for improvements.  To welcome back our loyal lunch crowd and hopefully to entice some additional members to check the club out for lunch there will be a buy one and get one free special from Thursday March 12th – Saturday March 14th. Try the club out for lunch with your colleagues at work on Thursday or Friday or with the family on Saturday.  It is one of the best deals in town.

O’Hosey St. Patrick’s Day Party Date Changed
The O’Hosey St. Patrick’s Day Party has been moved from Saturday March 14th to Friday March 20th at 5:30 PM.  Come on out to the club and celebrate.  All are welcome.

Tuesday Morning Men's Golf League
As stated in earlier Newsletters there has been some interest in starting a Tuesday Morning Men's League for those of you who would like to play in the morning vs. the evening.  Some of you may be retired or some of you may have the flexibility to play every Tuesday morning.  We will operate this league very similar to the way the evening league is played, two player teams.  Each team will play another two person team each week in a match play format.  It will be difficult to assign and start and end date until we have everyone interested in playing signed up.  I don't foresee this league beginning as early or running as late as the evening league.  Please email Jason at iccpgapro@hotmail.com ASAP if you have any interest in participating in this morning league.  If you are not able to e mail Jason, please call him at the Club, 961.3303.
