During the month of April, I challenge each and every one of you to recruit at least one member. Our chapter will be competing with all of the other chapters in EWGA to recruit as many members as we can during the month of April. If our chapter has the highest percentage of members recruiting at least one member during this period in our division, EWGA will feature our chapter on its website and in the Par-Tee Line newsletter. In addition, our chapter will receive a cash prize to use for a victory celebration to recognize the chapter recruiters and the new members.

EVERY ONE WINS! For every new member recruited, our chapter will strengthen the EWGA, expand the network of professional woman in our chapter, help grow the game of golf, and receive national recognition.

Please download a few membership forms and have them with you at the golf course or at work. Alternatively, just direct potential members to our website where they can apply on-line.
