Golf Classic Review: Members reviewed the Golf Classic event. Suggestions for 2014 are:
Teams can check-in at any table. Do not need to have separate check-in table for Allianz
Second beverage cart needed
Have water and snacks at one to two additional holes besides hole #10
Upcoming Events:
TCGMC: A contract has been received from the director outlining what the Chorus needs to perform. Sandler will meet
with Heilicher and contact Breck School for the information to see if the needs can be met and possible dates. Clements
presented information on eventbrite.com. This site could be used for ticket purchasing by individuals for the concert.
There is no fee to us, the individual pays the usage fee similar to active.com. The cost of the chorus is still a concern.
Sandler suggested that members may need to think about an alternative event in case the TCGMC is not financially
feasible. Clements offered to explore a food truck event. Members thought that would be a great idea to explore.
