Club News September 2022

I can’t believe this will be my last President’s Corner. The year went so fast. At the August members’ general meeting, we elected new officers. Marvin Bennett is our new vice president, Wendy Hope is our new secretary, and Bob Knotz is our new at large member. Congratulations and welcome to our Board. I would also like to welcome our new president, Alan Offen, who will assume duties on October,1.

I also would like to thank our outgoing Board members: past president Barbara Williams, outgoing secretary, Sally Bennett, and out- going member-at-large, Marilyn Rhew. Your hard work and effort are deeply appreciated.

I want to recognize Alan Bensch for all his work in providing challenging tournaments and fun croquet events. I also want to recognize Natalie Lawson for her efforts in providing entertaining social events.

Over the past year our financials are stable and have actually increased monetarily. Thanks, Terry, for all your efforts.

I also want to thank Rich Watson and Norm Pike for their willingness to take on tasks assigned by me and other Board members.

Although, we are no longer holding our Golf with Wickets fund raiser, I do want to recognize and thank Peggy and Bob Towner for all their efforts in raising close to $20,000 dollars over the several years the event was held.

Finally, our national organization has presented us with a certificate, for our outstanding First Responder event with the fire department and police department on National Croquet Day. The certificate is sitting next to our Anderson Cup trophies at the Shore Club. Thank you, Gloria Bensch, for organizing this event.
