Quick Hits

Did I mention if you submit an article to the newsletter and it gets used we send you $25? A trip report, a position statement, something like that? Unfortunately, the April issue may be rather one-sided, but hopefully next quarter we'll get some real variety.
That said, I HOPE to get the issue out the door the second week of April, with the other two items close behind.
  • One of my goals is for each club to have it's own public relations box full of brochures, economic assessments, pr packets, newsletters, magnets, stickers, etc. If you've ever seen the layout at one of the Essex or Bloomsburg shows, that's the idea. So when a club is doing an event, any event, they can have this readily available to show interested parties. In two weeks I'll be heading down to the Association meeting in PA and will press the need for more informational tools to hand out to our members and legislators. There's a wealth of knowledge on tap and we just need to turn the faucet on.
$25 per used article. Twenty five.
  • COY HILL CLEANUP scheduled for May 10th. If you're interested, go HERE. If you're not, disregard. Regardless of the reason, a group of volunteers are organized to go in there and clean up the area. It's not about future access but about the damaged image our sport has taken. We all hope it helps, but remember to support the group even if you don't support the event itself. They're doing it for all of us and I thank them.
  • The agenda for the April meeting will be out this week. REMEMBER IT'S STILL AT GOLFQUEST, at least for this month. We should be moving the meetings this summer to a place in Danbury if all goes as planned.
  • As stated previously, the bus to Dubois was too expensive, but we're looking at renting a small van for carpooling purposes. More posted once the numbers come back.
  • If you haven't scheduled a Land Use seminar with Dave yet, I encourage you to do so. It's very informative and actually interesting.

Well that's pretty much it. April is exceedingly busy for me, so once again if I don't get back to you on something, keep buggin' me. ($25 an article).
