PIN HIGH WITH THE PRESIDENT
Jodenne Scott
Golf today with EWGA goals in mind
Jodenne Scott lists goals for the Portland Chapter, as well as ways to have fun golfing before the summer sun makes it easy to enjoy a day on the course. Read her letter here and grab some hand warmers and hot drinks for golfing in "normal" spring weather.

Volunteers already get in free, but other members and friends can pick up EWGA tickets at Will Call on the lower level of the Oregon Convention Center.

COMMUNICATIONS
Survey results
Survey says: News is good, but few read 
Almost all of the 2015 survey respondents like the content and number of publications the Chapter creates. That is gratifying, but the third of you who read the Newsletter and website, please tell your EWGA friends to do the same. We will be a stronger chapter when more informed. Click here for survey results on Communications. The full results are in the website library.
