Last year was a successful year for the GCWGA Scholarship Foundation.  We were able to award three $1,000 scholarships to female high school seniors entering college in the fall of 2009.  The SHE (Scholarship for Higher Education) tournament was a great success, coupled with the Foundation Days at each club.  Please continue to support the Foundation Days at your club and vie for a spot on your club’s SHE tournament team.   It is for a great cause!

The Board looks forward to seeing you at the different events this upcoming season.  Our success depends on you!  We appreciate your feedback and welcome your input.  Please feel free to contact any of us via phone or e-mail with comments or questions.

I am honored to be part of such a dedicated and competent group of ladies that I have the opportunity to work with on the GCWGA Board.  Thanks for letting me serve as your president.

Regards,

Melissa Homan

President, GCWGA
