Summer is halfway through and boy has it been hot. Monthly chapter meetings are sparse this time of year but in a few weeks, there will be many meetings that kick off and extend throughout the fall. Now is the time for you to think about how you can serve your chapter.

The most obvious way to serve is on the board of directors. Most chapters are always looking for volunteers to step up and run. However, there are many ways to serve without being on the board. The majority of chapters have committees that need volunteers or sometimes a chairman. This type of service requires a minimal time commitment but still provides a service avenue.

The GCSAA Grassroots Ambassador program is another great way to serve. Just give me a call and I can tell you about the program and help get you started.

Have you considered hosting a First Green event? This is another great way to serve not only your chapter but your community, as well. All you need to do is find a school, church group, scout troop or other kids group to partner with and commit to a date to host the event and I will help you with the rest of the planning. These events are usually 3-4 hours long held right at your golf course so you don’t even have to be off property for the day.

Please give me a call if you are interested in any of these GCSAA programs or just want to talk about chapter service opportunities. Just like the start of a tennis match: "Time for you to serve.”
