Golden Boys Board Meeting November 4, 2005
 Meeting called to order at 2:30 p.m. with all board members present except Doug Bond who was away.
 
The minutes of the September 7th meeting were approved as presented. No additions or changes were made.
 
Wendell Alderman gave an in depth report on the status of plans for the upcoming Christmas party. This years event is set for 6:00p.m. on December 8th at Larkin's on the River (formally Rene's Steakhouse). The cost has been set at $22.00 per person for Golden Boys and their spouse with a charge of $30.00 for any invited guests. Checks to be mailed to Dan Coviello along with entree choices by Monday December 5th. The Board asked Wendell to inquire about next year's reservation on a similar date in December and the possibility of locking in this year's price for 2006.

George Baker will handle the special invitations for Mike Campbell and Mark Pavano.
 
Dan Coviello covered the latest treasurers report showing net funds available $4,545.63 as of September 30, 2005. It was decided that, in order to set the Christmas party price at $22.00, the balance of the charge will be covered out of the treasury.
 
Conde Sargent reported that the Mountain Interclub dates for 2006 might require a $45.00 price tag for each event. While this is not definite, it does look as though some increase will be put in place. A suggestion was made to not include the Etowah dates into next year's interclub schedule. One
additional point brought up on the Mountain group was that if the price should go to $45.00 then it might be difficult to get 20 players from our club willing to play.
 
Larry Freehauf was credited with running a successful match-play program. We need to look at possible changes acceptable to the membership that would increase participation in the tournament.
 
Al Valenti reported the last dine-a-round, held at Saskatoons, was one of the better dinners held this year. All agreed that Al and his helpers did an outstanding job in the events held this year. Al is in the process of reserving the facility for next year's picnic to be held September 21, 2006.
 
Meeting adjourned at 3:45p.m.

Some discussion was held on the future of the club and of the Golden Boys as an organization. The discussion ran along the lines/option: the club remains semi-private, the clubs reverts to a private status, the club purchased by a developer, the Golden Boys relationship to the new owners, necessary changes to our bylaws and other items. George stated, correctly, that is better to be considering these points now that to be caught without any options.

Preferences could be sought from the membership in a golf survey before calendar making time.
--Pebble Creek part of Etowah Valley home-and-home was approved by the club as presented for the Sept. 10 outing.
--The second LGA Mixer must be changed again. It was moved from its first date because the county women's tournament was a conflict for the LGA. The Sept. 30 date is out because an outing utilizing all 36 holes has been scheduled at the club on that day. Whether this mixer will be played will be left entirely up to the LGA.
--Word has been very positive at the conclusion of our First Mountain Interclub with Glen Cannon, Kenmure and Hendersonville. They've been told we're ready to sign a "multi-year" contract when the time comes to plan for another year. Fox Run and Greenville CC remain on the Carolina Seniors
