PLEASANT VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB APRIL NEWSLETTER 2009 From the President: George Huck Rattay
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I want to thank all of the Members who attended the Annual Stockholders' Meeting on March 16th.  The opportunity and
willingness for Members to exchange ideas and debate issues that are important to them, in the proper setting, is
paramount to our success as a Club.  It also gives the Board of Governors a better sense of which issues, programs, and
initiatives are supported by the majority rather than a minority of the Members.

At the Stockholders' Meeting, Dan Harrer, Rich Jovan and Tom Havadich were elected to serve on the Board of Governors.
At the organizational meeting of the Board of Governors, following the Stockholders' Meeting, George Huck Rattay was
elected President by a unanimous vote of the remaining members of the Board.
The Board of Governors, Officers and Committee Chairpersons for 2009-2010 are as follows:
		George Huck Rattay- President - Long Range Committee
		Jim Davies - 1st Vice President - Membership and Publicity Committees
		Dan Harrer - 2nd Vice President - Golf and Buildings Committees
		Donna Malesky - Secretary/Treasurer - Finance & Personnel Committees
		Paul Kendi - Board of Governors - Grounds Committee
		Rich Jovan - Board of Governors - Entertainment Committee
		Tom Havadich - Board of Governors - House Committee
		Lee Dolfi - Grievance Committee

A schedule of the Meetings of the Board of Governors for the year will be posted in the 19th hole.

It is an honor to serve as your President and I will do everything in my power to protect the financial integrity of PVCC,
maintain the high level of service that you expect and deserve, and continue to make decisions based on what I believe to
be in the best interest of the Club and the majority of the Members.

How can you help at PVCC in 2009?  Let us all be optimists not pessimists.  The optimist promotes harmony, the pessimist
creates discord.  The optimist looks for the best, the pessimist expects the worst.  The optimist sees a green near every
sand trap; the pessimist sees a sand trap near every green.

Finally, let's start the golf season by participating this year in as many events as possible.

Respectfully Submitted,

George Huck Rattay

I'd like to encourage all members to participate in our club events, they are a lot of fun, and a great way to socialize and meet other members.
