Cadiz Country Club

As you well know the 10 year assessment for the irrigation system has come to an end for the majority of our members. That being said the financial crisis at CCC has not. We will be continuing the irrigation assessment based on the membership remaining. The good news is that it will cost you no more than your were accustomed to paying. This years member fees will be the same as last years. Some additional changes for 2010 will be: 1. All members are entitled to a locker at no charge. 2. All members will have driving range priveleges at no charge. 3. Cart Fee’s will remain at $8.00 until further notice.

We are pursuing reciprocals for 2010 with the following Clubs: Moundsville, Belmont, Cambridge, Wheeling, Steubenville & Williams. We’ll keep you posted on our results.

Have a great Holiday and we hope to see you in the Spring.

Sincerely,

John Alleman, Jim Clark, Ken Herron, Jack Kirkland, Theresa Stotler, Chuck Bizzari & Bob Phillipson
