CMC Board Meeting March 3, 2026
Present
Larry Stuber, Mike Brown, Jay Robinson, Spencer Groshong, Bill Stout, Don Larson, Tom Vaughn
Conversations Before Committee Reports
We briefly talked about pick and clean rules now that we must post scores. Chris Bensel is said to be coming up with a new set of rules on this subject. We all agreed that it is important to have all members playing by the same set of rules because of posting. Once resolved, one suggestion was to ask Jim Gibbons to explain any rule changes at the upcoming Spring Kick-off Breakfast.
There was also some discussion on the work being performed on hole Red 1. Chris is contemplating making this hole into a par 3.
Committee Reports
Membership Report-Robinson
- Total paid members 206
- New members 7
- 51 members from last year have not paid for 2026 membership (not included in 206)
Treasurer Report-Mike Williams
We finally received $250 from the January Chili Chowder Feed the middle of February. I provided a revised event summary illustration a $1,972 contribution to the scholarship fund.
Social Committee-Stuber & Roy
The breakfast caterer for the Kick-off breakfast is Kam & Kam. They are new to the Charbonneau list of approved caterers. Our costs for breakfast will be $17.50 per attendee and this includes the tip. This is a reduction from last years breakfast. If we have 80 participants, the same as last year, savings to the club will be $900. The board discussed and also agreed to provide a no-host Bloody Mary bar at the upcoming April 4 breakfast. The only expense to the board will be the labor for providing one or two bar tenders from the Market Café.
Finally, our objective this year, for all catered events, is not to pay more than $1 per participant above last year’s costs, and currently, we have caterers scheduled for all 2026 events.
Tournament Committee-Larson
Battle of the Sexes is scheduled for Thursday August 6th. There will be a $20 entry fee per participant. All entry fees will be contributed to the Merit Fund. Chris Bensel has offered to provide food and beverages at no costs to CMC.
Nine Hole-Vaugh
There have been recent discussions about including the Nine Holer’s in the Charbonneau Cup event. However, as of this writing it remains under review.
