The Minutes of the October general membership meeting were accepted and approved.

News from the course:

- Gary Frazier will be the new Cedar Creek groundskeeper. He has experience at Palmetto Golf Course and has a landscaping business of his own.
- Beverly Burke will be the new food manager at Cedar Creek. She has 20 years experience in the restaurant business.
- A motion was made by Jim Mitchell to sponsor a “ Meet and Greet” for Jim McNair. During the ensuing discussion it was suggested that we try to get the Ladies Golf Association to also sponsor the event. It was also mentioned that the event could be larger than the club house could accommodate and that details must be worked out. Dean Wood will check with Jim McNair to determine if he would be in favor of such an event. A vote of the members present passed the motion with the caveat that Ken Brace could cancel the motion if Dean’s response from Jim McNair was not positive.
