CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP SURVEY

You answered, the board is listening 
The 2016 Board is taking your survey answers to heart, whether it be where you want to golf or if you liked Early Birdie pricing. We are planning for 2016 based on your answers, and will be publishing the results and our responses in upcoming newsletters. The names of three members who took the survey will be drawn at the Dec. 8 Board meeting for free League play or admission to the 2016 Kickoff. Thanks to all who answered. Here is a link to the Leadership results.

EWGA-PDX members step up to First Tee
Our members once again showed their heart, sense of community and love of the game by coming through for the disadvantaged youth of the First Tee of Greater Portland. We donated five sets of irons and woods, and enough miscellaneous clubs, golf bags, shoes, gloves and balls to pack Barbara Bracken's SUV. Click here for info about the First Tee and its work instilling the character-building values of golf in area youth.
