EWGA BALTIMORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!


The EWGA Baltimore Regional Chapter needs YOU!!!

We're not asking for money (unless you have not yet paid your 2012 dues). We are asking for your creativity, energy and some time. Golf season is only a few months away and the volunteers on the Baltimore Chapter's Board are busy planning for lots of golf and social activities. If you want to have some fun and help make our chapter shine, contact Sharon Waller, Chapter President. You can help on a one time basis, e.g., organize a happy hour or captain a golf event, and also assist on an ongoing basis, e.g., work on building the membership of our chapter.

New this year will be TWO Spring Kick-Off events. The first will be held the evening of March 28th at Martin's West. This event will be a Golf Expo with fabulous speakers, sponsors, vendors and a surprise guest or two. The second event will be our popular Tee-Off at Diamond Ridge and The Woodlands. This is our first golf event of the season and you don't want to miss it! Volunteers are needed to help plan both events.

Opportunities abound in a range of activities: Social, Communication, Education & Player Development, Handicap, Golf Events, Golf Leagues, Membership and Sponsorship. If you are not able to make a commitment now, you can still express your interest in helping out later in the season. Every volunteer makes a valuable contribution to the success of the Baltimore Chapter and our members.

Groundhog Day just passed and Spring Training will follow right behind. The time to hibernate is over! Answer this Call for Volunteers!


Did You Hear the News??? Lorena Ochoa will be the special guest at the 2012 EWGA Golfpalooza! AND you can win the opportunity to play 9 holes of golf with her. Hurry, early registration ends tomorrow to receive a $50 discount on the conference fee. EWGA Golfpalooza is the premier association-wide golf event of the year. This is where you will see the EWGA on its largest stage. It's a time to see old friends and make new ones, it's golf, golf, and more golf, it's parties, presentations, business connections and more!
