Presidents Report [Mike Null]
Concerns with low attendance at MV functions of late. Be sure to set registration deadline soon enough (7-10 days) to make decision of whether to go ahead with event or not and still give host course the ability to open course for regular play. Suggest possible pay host club a base fee if we are forced to cancel our scheduled event.

Note: Mike Null pointed out that he did NOT make a motion to “propose an amendment to bylaws to provide a review process of the MVGCSA dues structure on every odd numbered years”. That motion was made by Tim Roethler.
