Tee Talk – February 2015 Tee Talk From the President As most of you know we had our AGM last Saturday January 24. The meeting was very smooth headed by our, until that day, President Rodney Brooks, with the valuable support of, also until that day our Treasurer, Randy Cooper. It was a complete surprise for me and I never thought that two days later I was going to be writing a letter to the Country Club de Chapala membership as the new President. There was not a voluntary candidate for President for the elections of this last AGM, so, following our ByLaws, the elected Board of Directors during the first BOD meeting have to elect internally the new President, they proposed and asked me to be the new President, and I accepted. I have already been in the past serving the CCC as part of the Board and as Treasurer, that is why I know and understand the great responsibility that represents being the Board of Directors President, a position that will require my best effort and dedication to serve the Club in the best way I can, and operate it looking always for the most beneficial ways for the Club, its membership, employees, and to have a good relationship with our society and government authorities. I also expect to improve the relationship between the Club and Colonos as it was since the very beginning and should continue, as it is our closest society, and actually a lot of the Colonos are also Club members, so, we should have an excellent relationship. It was already promoted by our former President Rodney Brooks, to the Executive Boards of the Club and Colonos to meet twice a year to not only improve the relationship between the two entities, but to study ways to improve the common areas, I couldn’t agree more with that idea, so I will propose that to the Colonos Board and ours. There is a very old problem that affects both Colonos and the Club, problem that has been faced and confronted in several occasions by different BOD and Presidents in different periods of time but never settled. It is the issue related to the water well. It is a very complex problem that began many years ago when the emissions of the concessions for the extraction of the water was transferred from the Agricultural and Hydraulic Resources Secretariat to the, in those times recently created, National Commission of the Water (CONAGUA). Some people misunderstanding the problem, and not knowing the commencement of it, have made the mistake to confront Colonos and the Club as counterparts of the conflict not understanding that the real counterpart is CONAGUA. It is a problem that eventually could legally affect the Club, that is already affecting Colonos because of the cost of the water, a latent problem that could be worst depending on the reactions from CONAGUA, so it worth’s to give all of our attention to try to give a permanent solution to it. I began to study the problem and to be involved in it when I was part of the CCC BOD more than ten years ago, together with the people that was in those times confronting the problem, among them Mr. Loren Reynolds, the Club President in those times, but even though some kind of allowances were gotten from CONAGUA, and their offensive was temporally appeased, a real and permanent solution has never been reached. I will focus my attention in this problem to try to reach once and for all a real and permanent solution to the problem in behalf of the Club, but I am sure Colonos will also be beneficiated. As I was saying, it is not an easy task what I have accepted, but I can promise you that I will put my best effort and time to try to follow that path; fortunately we are receiving the Club with a very good financial position, thanks to the excellent management of the former BOD and Presidents. Thanks to all of them. As informed in the AGM information package, two small increments of $100 pesos each were suggested and approved by the Assembly, so, these increments will be retroactive to 01/01/15. These actually are not increments but adjustments to update with the expected inflation. Page 1 Tee Talk – February 2015 We began this year with new requirements from the Federal Government since Hacienda is requiring a new kind of electronic accounting in order them to be able to collate the electronic invoices in a digital way, which is a new lock to avoid the evasion of taxes, so we will require internal changes in the accountability, we already began to work on that since these requirements are mandatory beginning 2015. With only two days serving you as President, I do not have more issues to inform you, I expect to send a more extensive message for this coming month. Como todos Ustedes saben, nuestra Asamblea Anual Ordinaria tuvo lugar el pasado Sábado 24 del presente. La junta fue muy bien llevada por el hasta ese día presidente Rodney Brooks, muy eficientemente apoyado por el también hasta ese día Tesorero Randy Cooper. Para mí fue una sorpresa y nunca pensé que dos días después estaría escribiendo un mensaje para la membresía como nuevo Presidente del Club. No hubo candidato voluntario para la posición de Presidente para las elecciones durante la última Asamblea, así es que siguiendo nuestros Estatutos, la Mesa Directiva Electa, durante su primera junta, debe de elegir internamente un nuevo Presidente, ellos me propusieron y yo acepté. Ya he servido en el pasado como parte de Mesas Directivas del Club, e incluso he sido Tesorero del mismo, por lo cual se y entiendo la gran responsabilidad que representa el ser Presidente, una posición que requerirá mi mejor esfuerzo y dedicación para tratar de servir al Club de la mejor manera posible, operándolo buscando siempre lo mejor para el Club, sus miembros, sus empleados y el tener una buena relación con la sociedad y con las autoridades Gubernamentales. También espero mejorar las relaciones del Club con los Colonos como debería de ser siempre, ya que es nuestra más cercana sociedad, y muchos de los Colonos son al mismo tiempo miembros del Club. Por lo que deberíamos de tener siempre excelentes relaciones. Ya fue antes promovido por nuestro anterior presidente, el Señor Rodney Brooks, el que los Comités Ejecutivos del Club y de Colonos se reunieran dos veces al año no solo para mejorar las relaciones entre las dos entidades, sino para buscar la forma de mejorar las áreas que nos son comunes; estoy totalmente de acuerdo con esa idea, por lo que propondré a la Mesa Directiva de CVL y a la nuestra que lo llevemos a cabo. Existe un viejo problema que afecta tanto al Club como a Colonos que ha sido enfrentado en varias ocasiones por diferentes Mesas Directivas y Presidentes del Club en diferentes períodos de tiempo pero nunca solucionado. Es el problema relacionado con el pozo del agua. Es un problema muy complejo que empezó hace muchos años cuando la emisión de las concesiones para la extracción del agua pasó de la SARH a la recién creada en aquel entonces CONAGUA. Algunas gentes malentendiendo el problema y no sabiendo cómo se inició han cometido el error de confrontar al Club y a Colonos como contrapartes en el conflicto sin entender que la real contraparte es CONAGUA Es un problema que podría eventualmente afectar legalmente al Club, que ya está afectando a Colonos por el costo del agua, un problema latente que podría ser peor dependiendo de reacciones por parte de CONAGUA, por lo que vale la pena que pongamos toda nuestra atención para darle una solución definitiva. Empecé a estar involucrado en el problema y a estudiarlo siendo parte de la Mesa Directiva del Club, hace más de diez años, junto con la gente que lo trató de enfrentar en esos tiempos, entre ellos el Señor Loren Reynolds, Presidente del Club en ese timepo, pero aunque se consiguieron algunas prerrogativas por parte de CONAGUA y se apaciguo temporalmente su ofensiva, nunca se ha alcanzado una solución definitiva. Enfocaré mi atención en este problema para tratar de conseguir de una vez por todas una real y permanente solución al problema en beneficio del Club, pero también estoy seguro beneficiará a Colonos. Como les estaba diciendo, no es una tarea fácil la que he aceptado, pero les puedo prometer que pondré mi mejor esfuerzo y tiempo para tratar de seguir el camino propuesto. Afortunadamente hemos recibido el Club en una excelente posición financiera, gracias al excelente trabajo realizado por las anteriores Mesas Directivas y Presidentes, gracias a todos ellos. Como oportunamente se informo en el paquete de información de la Asamblea, dos pequeños incrementos en las cuotas de $100 pesos cada uno se propusieron y fueron aprobados en la Asamblea, estos incrementos se aplicarán retroactivamente al primero de este mes de Enero, en realidad estos no son incrementos sino ajustes para librar la inflación esperada para este año. Iniciamos este año con nuevos requerimientos por parte de Hacienda que está pidiendo unos nuevos reportes contables electrónicos que sabemos son con el propósito de compulsar todas las facturas en forma digital, o sea un nuevo candado para evitar la evasión de impuestos, por lo que necesitaremos hacer cambios en nuestra contabilidad al respecto, ya empezamos a trabajar en ello, ya que este cambio lo hicieron obligatorio iniciando el 2015. Con solo dos días sirviéndoles como Presidente no tengo mucho que informarles, espero enviar un mensaje más extenso para el próximo mes.

Requests from the CCC Library - The library currently stocks books and movies. I think most people aren’t aware of our movies, but we have a few. They are located on the rear shelf in a basket. Please feel free to check them out and add to our small collection. - There has been a suggestion made to include jigsaw puzzles in the library. We have room for a few, if you are interested in donating jigsaw puzzles, please leave them next to the book drop basket in the library. - Please return books to the book drop basket, this enables me to determine what books people are reading. - To help you find books you might be looking for there is an index (white binder) on the top shelf as you look toward the first hole. If you know a title and don't know the author, leave me a note and I will see if we have it in our library. Don't forget to leave your phone number.

Last year’s event was a great success with seventy-six players enjoying a beautiful day, fun golf and a lovely meal following the competition. The tournament proceeds made it possible for our committee to offer further educational support to our hard working employees. Currently forty-five club members make a monthly contribution in the amount of 50 to 500 pesos to the education fund. The Kids and Their Future Committee are grateful for this ongoing support. th The Amigo Cup 2015, will be held on March 26 . Information flyers will soon be in the pro shop as well as a sign up sheet.

Vegetarians should request a meatless meal when they purchase their tickets. The format is a Four Person Scramble and participants may sign up as a team of four, but pairs and even individuals are welcome to sign up. Each team must have a minimum handicap of 60.
