Bill Bayne and Bill LeLievre are running for the seat to be available with John Peschel completing his term on the board.

Absentee ballots will be available starting on Sept. 30 for members unable to attend the Oct. 15 annual meeting. These ballots will be available in the Golf Shop for Tier One members to cast their ballots for one male and one female candidate.
