25th Annual Founders Day & Awards Luncheon

February 13, 2023
Mountain View Ballroom

President Patty Stark called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone to our
25th Founders Day Celebration. She related we are gathered together to honor
Lou Ann Garvin, who founded the Putters with 33 women in 1998. Our current
membership is 118, but in 2007 we had 250 members and had two different
putting sessions to accommodate all members. Patty had asked Dar Pittman, a
current member who is also a founding original member, what Putters was like in
1998 and relayed many interesting details about the original group and events
held. Things were very different back then.

Patty next thanked the Founder’s Day committee for the outstanding job they
did in putting this celebration together. They were asked to stand for

gift wrapped boxes full of candy everyone received. Also thanks to Dar Pitman

a display of photos and other mementos up front as well as the beautiful
decorated cake all honoring Lou Ann Garvin and 25 years of Mountain View
Lady Putters. And she gave a final thank you to the servers and bartenders for
taking such good care of all of us.

FOUNDER’S DAY ANNIVERSARY LUNCH –

In a previous new blast, Roberta asked for volunteers to serve on the

committee. She thanked Sally Murphy, Ginny Schoepf, Mary Williams & EJ

Snearly for quickly responding to her request.

FINANCIAL STATUS AND 2023 DUES –

Jean Kraus and Sandy Strack presented the membership with a side-by-

side comparison of 2022 budget with dues at $72.00 and a 2023 budget

with dues remaining at $72.00. Based on 135 members for 28 putting days

(Due to MV closure in 2023). 2022 averaged 63 putters per week. MVLP

dues of $72.00 have only increased by $5.00 in the last 18 years. The

MVLP budget divided in to 3 categories:

1. CLUB EXPENSES – Amounting to $17.00 per member and

includes printing, score cards, free lunches, luncheon candy,

activity fair entry fee, January working board meeting lunch for

both current and new board members, and tables for annual

meeting.

2. HOLIDAY LUNCHEON – A few years back the members were

polled and it was unanimously decided to keep that lunch free to

the members. The cost of the luncheon is $24.00 of the $72.00.

3. PRIZE ACCOUNT – This pays our green fees of $1.00 per putter

per week, the committee cards and door prizes and the $10

birthday drawing. The money for the 4 & 5 holes in one and the

money hole is funded though this account.

Up until now, $72 has been sufficient to cover all expenses. Since our

membership has grown the number of putters per week during the summer

months has gone from an average of 40 to 63. This equals out to about

$23 more per week in fees as well as more in prize money.

Our other source of income is the 50/50 drawing at the luncheons.

This was originally used to fund the bus we rent to take to Quail Creek.

The last time we rented the bus (2years ago) the cost was $900. In 2023 it

may well exceed $1000.

Those proceeds now also cover our WEB site expenses of over $250

annually as well as the special events hosting, Quail Creek, The

Ranchettes, The Sputters, Moon Light Madness & Putter Partners.

Currently our budget would be in the hole if it weren’t for the 50/50 balance

and operating portion of our budget.

Because of these very real numbers and 2023 projections, our dues will

remain at $72.00 even though we will not be putting for 5 months.

However, the months that we are putting always have the highest

attendance. (February, the beginning of our fiscal year, thru April &

October thru January.)

We will work diligently to keep the dues down for 2024, however 2023 dues

will remain at $72. Luncheon prices will remain the same for the time

being. Jean Kraus and Jan Arruda are purchasing desserts at Costco and

Bashas to help maintain lower costs.

Motion to accept the dues for next year was made by Ruthie Thoren and

seconded by Kim Klindsworth. Motion carried.

 We really do not have any more news about the up coming golf course closure due this spring.  The golf pros aren.t sure yet when the course will be closed for sure, but the last date was April through September.  Needless to say, the MVLP board has some work to do to figure out what our dues for next year will be.  And setting up the 2023 calendar of events is pretty tricky too.  The closure won’t be as long as the COVID closure was for our group.  We know we will be impacted as the entire course and its practice facilities will be closed due to equipment movements and storage being quite a liability issue.

The good news is before the closure we have

TREASURER’S REPORT

Kathy Rambur gave a summary of the Treasurer’s report. Balance of $11,087.61 as of May 31^st. Income of $3632.95 received. Expenses of $3723.36. Closing balance of $10997.20. A motion to accept the Treasurer’s report was made by Mary Williams and seconded by E.J. Snearly. Motion passed.

Roberta thanked our wonderful servers who always take such good care of us.  We appreciate all that you do.

In May, we had our most excellent Moonlight Madness event, on the 14^th. Everyone enjoyed aiming their glow balls into the direction where they thought the hole was, and some even got holes in one! I think that proves something about our game, just not sure what it means when you can get a hole in one without seeing the lay of the land.

Our next fun event will be Hawaiian Goofy Golf, but that’s not until September 12^th. If you’ve been a member for some time, you remember how fun that is, and I promise, this upcoming event will be at least as much fun. It will be held on a regular putting day.

We really don’t have any more news about the upcoming golf course closure due this Spring. The golf pros aren’t sure how much we will be impacted but as soon as we learn how long the course will be closed to us (maybe different than the entire course closure, I don’t know), we will let you know.

“Today I have the honor of presenting a first for Mountainview Ladies Putters. All of you know Ruth Catalinotto who has been a putter for many years. Just this year because of balance issues and safety concerns, Ruth decided to stop putting. Roberta Wisniewski and myself met with Ruth to talk about possible options for the future. Ruth is going to remain on our active roster and receive our communications. She will also be attending luncheons and during good weather will intermittently stop at the putting course and urge us on.

“MVLP Board took action and is pleased to present Ruth with our first ever “Putter Emeritus” designation and name tag. Ruth is receiving this for two reasons: one – because she has attained the age of 95 and secondly made a voluntary agreement to discontinue putting for safety reasons. In addition to being named our first “Putter Emeritus” MVLP will honor Ruth as our guest at future Holiday Luncheons for as long as she wishes to attend.”

Why do we celebrate Founder’s Day?

• We celebrate achievements of all putters individually and collectively.

MVLP ANNUAL REGISTRATION MEETING

HOA2 BALLROOM

The doors opened at 8:20 a.m for new members.  There were six new members that attended orientation held by VP Jean Kraus.  The new members signed up for a committee project and ordered their shirts, jackets and name badges.

The Annual Meeting was called to order by President Pam Smith shortly after 9 a.m.  She welcomed and thanked everyone for attending. President Smith announced that she is the outgoing President. On February 1, EJ Snearly will be the new President of MVLPs.  It was a tearful acknowledgement and goodbye.

The 2019 Board members were reintroduced to the members, followed by the introduction of the new 2020 Board. Those leaving the Board are: Pam Smith, President; Ann Cristofani, member-at-large; Deb Adinolfi, Treasurer; Gay Uhl, 2018 Past President; and Jeannie Hepner, Special Events Coordinator.  Those joining the 2020 Board are: Joan Davis, Special Events Coordinator; Phyllis Meierhenry, Treasurer; Jean Kraus, Vice President; Annette Moyle, Member-at-Large;

President Smith followed with an announcement of our first special event of 2020 which is Putter/Sputter on Monday, March 23. The HOA1 Putter Sputters will be joining us on our course for this event and there will be NO regular putting on our course that day.

Standing Rules were then reviewed for new and for returning members.  President Smith reminded everyone to review our beautiful Website, it contains a lot of valued information.

It was at this point in the Annual Meeting that President Smith passed the “putter” to EJ Snearly, the new MVLP President for 2020.  (And understandably there were a lot of tears shed at this point).

EJ Snearly presented Pam Smith with A LOT of gift cards to her (Smith’s) favorite places and a card from all of the putters.

President Smith presented EJ Snearly with her president’s pin; and all other appropriate board title pins were exchanged at this time.

President Snearly said she wants all to know that we have a great Board for 2020 and we will all be working diligently to make it a great year for Mountain View Lady Putters! She added that she is still learning and trying to fill Pam’s shoes.

We then drew numbers for a multitude of gift cards… WHEW!

President Snearly made closing remarks.  A motion was made by Ginnie Schoepf to adjourn and seconded by Suzi Rizzo. The Annual Meeting was formally adjourned.
