Dear Colleagues,
Welcome first and foremost to our Centennial Year of Celebration. The years of planning for this monumental achievement have focused on three main themes: recognize who and what got us here, with a nod to the present and a focus on the future.
Part of this process included a day of Strategic Planning, plotting a course for 100 more years of success.
Mission Statement –
The Philadelphia Association of Golf Course Superintendents exists to support turfgrass management, provide valuable member services, and be viewed as a community of professionals supporting and enhancing the game of golf.
While obvious items, such as preserving our legacy, are on the outcomes list, one of the most pressing action items is engaging and providing for the future.
Action Item – The growth and future of PAGCS scholarships.
With this in mind, the PAGCS is participating in Rounds 4 Research. One key reason: the end users pay to support the future. Auction opens APRIL 21st so we are hitting the ground running.
AUCTION OPENS April 21
Did you know:
–All donations are completely customizable — check out the current donations here to see the options: https://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/auctionhome.action?auctionId=341784521
–Auction Audience is targeted at high end players who like to travel
–Chapters across the country raise up to six figures for their efforts
What’s Next:
The PAGCS will be reaching out over the coming weeks to our regional Allied Partners [PGA Section, etc.]. First action item: secure support from facilities; Next: promote the Auction. Finally, we are developing a plan to thank each donor after the Auction.
What each of us can do:
–Please consider reaching out to your facility’s decision makers to show support.
–Promote the Auction once it opens on April 21.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
Respectfully,
Greg D’Antonio, President
Tim Edwards, Treasurer
