Come to the Café on lower level first, if you plan to eat.

Park on the lower level with the entrance on the south

side of the building next to Chapel Hills Mall. Swing by

the café where they have a nice sandwich collection for

$8. Bring your lunch upstairs (just above where you just

entered). Look for the “ENABLE” sign on the wall. If

you come in the front door, go down to the café or look

to your left to see the big “ENABLE” sign. That is the

2015 Gleneagle Sertoma Patriot Golf Tournament

Mark your calendars. Our 2015 Patriots Golf Tournament will be held at

the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club (Kissing Camels) on Monday,

September 14th this year. As always, we will need volunteers, players,

items for our raffle, and auction items so as they say “Get Crackin”.

John Coyle is our Golf Honcho this year so contact John, Paul Dickard,

Joe Gray, or Pete Peterson if any questions. More details to follow.

What is Expected of our Gleneagle Officers?

When you are asked by the Nominating Committee to take a club leadership role you

should know what to expect and what is expected. Elected officers have specific duties

detailed in our club’s governing documents and they will be asked to lead committees.

One of the secrets of successful clubs is in their officers leading their committees

toward board decisions benefiting the club as a whole. Our club offices along with a

brief listing of their duties and their respective committees are listed below. The

incoming Club President will be meeting with each officer in April and May to do

some general planning and to help identify members for their committees. If you w ant

to talk about any of these responsibilities please ask a member of the Nominating Committee.

(Duane, Jack, Gloria, Pete, Rae)

The Club Officer Duties and their Committees:

oversight responsibility for the officers, directors and committee chairs. The President also is responsible for leader-

ship of the Executive Committee which includes the President-Elect, the five Vice Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer.

The Club President working with the Exec Cmte is responsible for making operational plans for the clubs activities,

the coming year.
