Ottumwa Country Club Board Elections We are getting close to the time of year that we will be having a changing of the guards (so to speak) on the board. We would like to invite anyone who might be interested in filling a seat on the board to write a brief description about themselves and your intent for the board. We can then present it in the next monthly newsletter for the membership to read. This gives the membership a chance to get to know candidates and see who they are and what they would like to see done. It is a great honor and service to hold a position on the board. We need people who would like to see the club be the best it can and to bring out new ideas to keep the club moving forward for the future. If you have any questions about running or who is qualified to run feel free to contact the General Manager Mike Dunlap and he would be happy to help you in any way possible.
