THANK YOU

The Board of Governors thanks you for your support during a year in 
which events occurred that no one could have predicted. However, we 
have reestablished excellent relations with Parks & Rec. And Diane 
Escobedo, Lead Professional, has gone out of her way to accommodate 
our needs. Rehashing the past will serve no useful purpose. It's time 
to move on and focus our efforts on making CCMGA the best men's golf 
association, period.
