Jim Wegman, Publicity
The 2017 Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon is history. Our 20th year as a golf league has begun. The current Board will remain: President Jim Wegman, Vice President Joe Sigillo, Treasurer Lloyd Schaeffer and Secretary Lynn Thompson.
Meeting Highlights: The Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon featured a lot of prizes and a couple of unique events. Members Jim Theobald, Marvin Carmickle and Eddie Allen are front runners for 2017 “Good Guy “awards. Marvin had two winning tickets in the 50/50 drawing and could have left with a pocketful of cash. Instead, Marvin donated back all his winnings to the league. And Jim Theobald, who does so many nice things behind the scenes for league members, donated about 90 sleeves of golf balls for sale to the members at a “buck a sleeve.” The members lined up to grab the bargains, and we added all the proceeds to our Administrative fund. Now, “Fast Eddie” Allen, as always, donated lots of golf gear; from sleeves of balls to clubs and a hat. These three members are to be commended for their generosity.
