Come to the Café on lower level first, if you plan to eat.
Park on the lower level with the entrance on the south
side of the building next to Chapel Hills Mall. Swing by
the café where they have a nice sandwich collection for
$8. Bring your lunch upstairs (just above where you just
entered). Look for the “ENABLE” sign on the wall. If
you come in the front door, go down to the café or look
to your left to see the big “ENABLE” sign. That is the
ENT Conference Center where we will have our meeting

2015 Gleneagle Sertoma Patriot Golf Tournament
Mark your calendars. Our 2015 Patriots Golf Tournament will be held at
the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club (Kissing Camels) on Monday,
September 14th this year. As always, we will need volunteers, players,
items for our raffle, and auction items so as they say “Get Crackin”.
John Coyle is our Golf Honcho this year so contact John, Paul Dickard,
Joe Gray, or Pete Peterson if any questions. More details to follow.
What is Expected of our Gleneagle Officers?
When you are asked by the Nominating Committee to take a club leadership role you
should know what to expect and what is expected. Elected officers have specific duties
detailed in our club’s governing documents and they will be asked to lead committees.
One of the secrets of successful clubs is in their officers leading their committees
toward board decisions benefiting the club as a whole. Our club offices along with a
brief listing of their duties and their respective committees are listed below. The
incoming Club President will be meeting with each officer in April and May to do
some general planning and to help identify members for their committees. If you w ant
to talk about any of these responsibilities please ask a member of the Nominating Committee.
(Duane, Jack, Gloria, Pete, Rae)

oversight responsibility for the officers, directors and committee chairs. The President also is responsible for leader-
