Dear Friends and Fellow Members,
Welcome to the 92nd year of the
Canadian Women’s Senior Golf Association.
We look forward to meeting our newest members, and renewing friendships
at our provincial events and at the National Tournament at Montebello in
September. Some of you have already celebrated the fellowship of CWSGA at our
first satellite tournament, held in early February in Florida. Congratulations to Jill Paton for
organizing a wonderful event.
Our 2013 National Tournament at Deerhurst
Resort was a great success, thanks to Ontario President Jill Paton, Tournament
Chair Mj Stewart, Prize Chair Mary Wemp, the Ontario executive, and a
hard-working committee. Our
founders might have been surprised at members’ attire at the annual meeting and
dinner that evening: jeans and tiaras were the order of the day, a far cry from
the gowns and jewellery members wore in the early years!
You will find below the minutes of the
Annual Meeting from Deerhurst, the year-end Financial Statements prepared by
Kerr Financial may be obtained by emailing: sjohnstoncwsga@rogers.com, and a list of Trophy Winners. I thank New Brunswick President Jennie Duncan for her term
on the executive, which expired last fall. On behalf of the CWSGA, I also thank our administrative
assistant, Sheila Johnston, who has handled our communication so effectively.
After some discussion and member feedback,
the executive will publish a print copy of the roster, as well as an online
version, as initiated in 2012.
Please make sure that your provincial secretary and Sheila Johnson
receive any change in contact information by May 1 at the latest.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the
Chateau Montebello, September 2 – 6, 2014. We will be hosting 12 members of the US Seniors in
competition for the Ann Taylor Green Trophy, and it will be a pleasure to
welcome them to this historic resort.
Do enjoy the rest of the winter. Apparently spring is just around the
corner!
With warmest regards,
Gail Todgham
National President
