PLEASANT VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB JUNE 2010 NEWSLETTER From the President: George "Huck" Rattay
Dear Distinguished Members of the Pleasant Valley Country Club:

Well my dear friends, this month finds me "confused" (more so than usual! Ha!) I do believe that
May has just become an extension of April with all the rain we have been having, not to mention
that the month is just flying I know I said this last month, but I am still marveling at how wonderful
the course looks!

With the Men's Invitational coming up on June 24th, 25th and 26th, what a perfect opportunity for
us to invite some prospective members and show them what a treasure we have here at PVCC.
This invitational is our "most prestigious event," and a golden opportunity for us to recruit some
new members - so please - everyone - invite that friend, relative, client, potential client, or 
neighbor and help us keep our club alive and vibrant.

I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day festivities and, even though it is over as you are reading 
this newsletter, I know we all paused and remembered our service men and women fighting in
Iraq and Afghanistan to ensure OUR freedom.  Think of the many things we are able to enjoy 
because of their gallant efforts.  And remember, all gave some, but some gave all!

In closing, I leave you with this thought:  "I am willing to go anywhere, as long as it is forward!"

Sincerely,
George "Huck" Rattay

ROSESROSESROSES
Last year we were able to plant rose bushes in back of the 19th Hole and on #1 tee with the 
generous contributions from members.  This year we would like to finish the #1 tee and start to 
plant  some rose bushes in the front of the Club House.  If anyone would like to contribute to this 
project  please make  your check out to Pleasant Valley Country Club and send it in to the
Business Office.  Thank you.
