A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE BSGAC BULLS
As
our BSGAC computer system has aged it has become obsolete to the point that
the day to day operations of the Club have been adversely affected. An
upgrade of the entire system has been desperately needed. We are sure that
everyone has noticed at one time or another the frustration that the staff
has experienced trying to serve the membership in the most efficient manner
possible. It seems that there was a hidden poltergeist in the Food and
Beverage system which delighted in making strange things happen. There was a
demon in the Golf Pro Shop Computer System who periodically sprang to life
to cause havoc. The Administration Office computer had a Broom Hilda
which caused lots of anxiety and head scratching as the staff struggled to
keep things running in a smooth manner. As everyone knows, nothing
gets past our Director Bob Nuckols. He quickly became aware of the
situation. Realizing that the needed upgrades would cost over $10,000
Bob sprang into action and appealed to his BSGAC Bulls Investment Group for
donations to upgrade our system. Within weeks the group had raised the
needed $10,000 plus additional funds. The entire staff of the BSGAC
would like to take this time to thank each and every member of the group who
donated to this worthy cause. Your efforts have allowed us to schedule
the needed upgrades. The end result will be a much more efficient operating
system and improved service to our membership and customers.
ENGRAVED BRICK PROGRAM
The Club continues to sell engraved bricks for around the flagpole.
The funds collected will be used for Club projects. We need 10 bricks
to place an order without paying an extra fee. We have two brick
orders waiting for us to get another 8 orders. If you have been
thinking about getting a brick, please place your order at the
Administration Office soon so we can get these bricks ordered.
BUS TRIP TO THE ARCADIA ALL-FLORIDA
CHAMPIONSHIP RODEO
SUNDAY, MARCH 14th, 2010
BSGAC MEMBERS ONLY
APPROXIMATE COST: $45 per Person
How
many people realize that there is a full-fledged rodeo right up the road in
Arcadia? This is a hugely popular event which is held every year.
If there is enough interest we plan to rent a bus and travel to the Rodeo on
Sunday, March 14th. We do not want to commit and put down a
deposit on the bus or purchase seats until we are sure that we have enough
people to pay for the bus. If you are confident that you would like to
go on this excursion please sign up at the Administration Office by no later
than Friday, January 29th. We must have a minimum of 35
commitments to plan this trip. At this time we will not collect any
monies until we are sure that the trip is going to go and seating is still
available at the Arena. Seating is very limited so we must act
quickly. All seats are covered and the show will go on rain or shine.
The bus will depart the clubhouse at 10:30am. The show will begin at
1pm and end at approximately 4:30pm. For more information visit the
