1) CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Chairman Cooper called the meeting to order and took the roll.
Cooper introduced the board to Dan Rowell who is with the Caldwell Elks
Club. The Caldwell Elks and the Nampa Elks have been playing each other on a
home and home basis and calling it the Ryder Cup. This year it is Caldwell's
tuzn to host at Purple Sage. Last year they had 72 players but would like to
increase to 92 players this year. Two years ago, when the tourney was held
in September, John allowed them to shot gun start on the back nine at Purple
Sage. This year, they want to hold the tourney on either the 29 of July or
the 12 or 26 of August, and again they would like to have a shotgun start.
The course already has events scheduled for the August dates but it was
decided that they could play on the 29 of July with a shotgun start if they
would agree to start play after 1pm. Dan Rowell said this was agreeable to
the Elks and that they would also be having their regular scheduled Caldwell
Elks tourney on September 30 and John confirmed this date for them. Dan
Roweil thanked the board for their time and cooperation and left the meeting.
�^
� Shirley Akagi has been contacted by a�ouch machine company that would
like us to advertise with them. A representative of that company was supposed
to be at the meeting to give a demo. These machines are located in airports,
Chamber of Commerce offices, etc.
A discussion was h.eld on the value of the Golf South Idaho brochure.
The consensus is �hat more brochures need to be distributed to motels and
restaurants, etc. and fewer at the golf course.
Cooper said we are going in the Press Tribune golf guide again this
year. Everyone agreed that this is a good value. We are also in the K.O.A.
camp ground directory this year.
Cooper showed the board the ad we will run in the Press Tribune
Cavalcade edition. In response to a question from Shirley Rkagi, Shannon
Ozuna did a quick research and reported that the advertisinq budget is
$5,000. Per year.
Roxie Ryan arrived at the rneeting and gave the board a demonstration of
the Touch machines. The board feels that this is something the Chamber of
Commerce could handle.
2) REPORT FROM JOHN WATSON
John showed the board a proposal put together by board member oodfidea
Osgood to honor Pete Cowles. All member of the board feel it is a g
and we should go ahead with the plan.

also announced the transfer of Brian Culbertson from Fairview to Purple Saqe
for the coming season.
3) REFPORT FROM BRIAN CULBERTSON
