Fall is my favorite time of year. Aside from all the wonderful colors and the hunting and fishing opportunities, it signifies the end of the golfing season. It's a time to look back to determine what worked well and what didn't, and also a time to start preparing next year's budget. This is also the time of year when six of the seven Northwest chapters are having their annual meetings and are selecting new leadership. Chapters are preparing their budgets for the coming year and must decide which programs they are going to support in the coming season.
I am extremely pleased to announce that four NW chapters have decided to create a line item in their budgets to support the Environmental Institute for Golf. I would also like to thank the Intermountain GCSA, Idaho GCSA, and Inland Empire GCSA for pledging $500 in 2013. These funds will provide ongoing support towards educational programs, research, scholarship and advocacy.
At the delegates meeting in October, Rhett Evans, CEO of GCSAA and the EIFG, shared a video about the Institute. This video can also be found on the Institute's website. As much as I would like everyone to go to the site to watch it, I am posting it here for your convenience. Please take a few moments to watch it to familiarize yourself with the roll of the EIFG and consider making an individual donation or even a facility donation. The EIFG is the backbone of our association, and your support can contribute to its ongoing success.
