SCGA Membership drive continues to bring in Associate members. The SCGA website will begin online Club membership renewal registration, including BMGC. The SCGA online Membership website will be rolling renewals, meaning annual membership will be effective at the time of renewal signup. This may cause issues for BMGC at the beginning of the year and our revenue intake will be spread out over the course of the year, not at the beginning of the year.

We plan to ask Tim Terwilliger to attend the July meeting to present our recommendation. A motion was made by Ed Kelly to revise the BMGC By-Laws to amend the requirement for four Regular membership meetings per year. Attendance has been minimal due to the BMGC website becoming the main source of club member communications and Tournament sign-up capability. After a discussion a revised motion was made by Art Longoria and then seconded by several Board members, to amend the BMGC By-Laws to “eliminate the 4 annual meeting requirement and replace it with wording that states the BMGC Regular membership meetings will be scheduled at the discretion of the Board”.

We can charge each player the regular green fee or add $10.00 per player and the Club will pick up the rest. - Menu has a lot of options. We can have ribs/chicken with 3 salads and beans and corn on the cob or it can be changed to fit our budget. - We now have it reserved for 120 people, which at $25.00 per person would come to $3,000. - A savings of up to $2,000 for the Club, and more if we add $10.00 to the entry fee. - If we have 68 players for the event this year, plus wives, we could very well get 100 or more people to attend.
