OGMA Newsletter – August 2021
Tentative plans are in place to hold our fall golf tournament on Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, at the Hidden Lake Golf Club. If COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted by early August and we are able to facilitate an indoor dinner, we will be proceeding, and members can expect to receive a flyer in their inbox by mid-August. If we are un-able to host a dinner, we will postpone our golf outing until the spring of 2022. Mark Thursday June 2, 2022, in your calendar now so you have our spring golf tournament at Pipers Heath Golf Club to look forward to over the winter and so that you do not make any plans that could conflict with this most important event. We are hopeful to be able to hold our fall seminar in early November this year. More news will follow as COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed.
