FROM THE PRESIDENT
   Dear Members, Effective April 1, 2009, there will no longer be an automatic gratuity placed on restaurant or bar bills. This also includes buffet nights and take-out orders. This change is being imposed as a direct response from membership suggestions over the last few years. I know our members will continue to reward the service staff, as they do rely upon our gratuities. It is my hope that this change will have a positive impact on the overall service at our club and will result in a rewarding experience for the membership and our employees. As always, if you have any comments or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Kevin Ross
President

MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR

James Jenkins has been appointed Membership Director for Medford Lakes Country Club. Mr. Jenkins & his wife Lynn have been members since 1975. If you have any questions about membership or would like to serve on this committee, please feel free to contact Jim at 609-654-6358.

From the Membership Director

   In our recruitment efforts for new membership we ran an ad in 3 consecutive issues of the Central Record and many members reported seeing it. We received a total of 20 phone calls resulting from the Ads, requesting information, and we are actively pursuing a number for membership. On another topic, the 2009-2010 Membership Directory is currently at the Printer and will be mailed to you as soon as available. Finally, please remember - You get $500 for bringing in a new golfing member, Husband and Wife, Senior Man or Woman. - If you bring in a new Golf Outing you will earn 5% of the gross. Both incentives are worth the extra effort. Please call Jim Jenkins for the details or any questions at 609 654 6358.
CLUB MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
   We are updating our Membership Directory for 2009-2010 Season. Please check your name, address and telephone number to make sure they are correct. Please notify the business office of any corrections by March 6th.
Advertising space is available, kindly contact the business office for rates & information.

Thanks,
Jim Jenkins



From the House Committee

   Easter Brunch was again a huge success. I want to thank Valeen and the kitchen staff for a great job. Tina and the serving staff did a fantastic job taking care of our members and families. Thanks to House Committee members who managed the six Easter egg hunts: Sis & Chuck Haller, Marilyn Hardwick, Betty Reis, Carmen Paradise, and Robin Harker. The House Committee has again formed a facilities/house team chaired by Bill Klein, along with Terry Harmon, Sis Haller, Marilyn Hardwick, and Betty Reis. They will on a quarterly schedule be going through the club facilities making suggestions to Conrad for club maintenance and care. The first walk through was April 14th. Each team member invited two additional club members to provide input and an opportunity for the House Committee to involve more of the membership. If you have suggestions in regard to our club house facilities please contact Bill Klein, Conrad, or one of our team members. If you have any questions or suggestions for the house committee please call Conrad or Chuck Harker - 609-268-7276.

MLCC Ireland Trip

    Coming soon to the website are the pictures of our October Ireland trip. The weather this year in Ireland did not disappoint. Temperatures in the 60's and plenty of sunshine. The rainwear did not even make an appearance. Who says it rains overseas? In 2 trips I still haven't seen it. The golf courses were fantastic, the sightseeing was spectacular, and the bus rides were wildly entertaining.
   Stops at the Guinness Brewery, Bushmills Distillery, Giant's Causeway, and Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge highlighted our sightseeing. Thanks to peer pressure almost all of us passed over the rope bridge. We'll never tell who didn't make it (Dr. Yorgey)!
   The golf was unbelievable. We played some of the top ranked courses in the world, including Royal County Down, which is the best course I've ever seen. First Class Ed Ciel dominated every tournament we held. Thanks to Ed for winning almost all of the money. Better luck next time to the Ultimate Partner - Gordie McCourt, whose partners each day had their worst rounds of the week.
   Special thanks to Ed Ciel, Mark MaGrann, Jim Horn, Gordie McCourt, Gary Lesneski, Ken Yorgey, and Neil Moore for an outstanding trip with lots of memories.
Looking forward to the next one.
