President's Message
April 18, 2009
Fellow PAGA Members,
Our 2009 National PAGA Winter Meeting & Tournament hosted by the New Braunfels, TX Chapter are history and I would like to commend their officers, members and all their hard working committees that wholeheartedly contributed to their super activities, excellent hospitality and for running an exceptional successful tournament.
Congratulations to all tournament winners and congratulations to the New Braunfels PAGA chapter for being our 2009 National PAGA Winter Meeting & Tournament host's.
Our attention now turns to our 2009 National PAGA Convention & Tournament that will take place in Corpus Christi, TX on July 27 th – 31st 2009.
Noe Guerrero president of the Corpus Christi chapter and Terri Longoria chairperson for The National Convention along with all their sub committees are working hard together to insure that everyone enjoys their stay in Corpus Christi during the convention as they excitedly await your arrival.
Several updates on The National Convention were passed out by the Corpus Christi delegation in New Braunfels and a member of the Corpus Christi Convention & Tourists Bureau presented the delegates with a great invitation to Corpus in July since they will be our “Host's on the Coast"!
The updates included the lowering of the entry fee of the Single Ladies Golf Package to $160.00, the lowering of the Senior Tournament entry fee to $5.00 and the lowering of the Social Package to $75.00.
Mrs. Longoria announced that in order for them to get a better handle on expenses and due to the fact that some corporate sponsors have limited their contributions and support during these economic trying times, it was in their best interest to move their convention entry deadline from June 27 th to May 27th.All entry forms for the convention have been finalized and should start appearing on your e-mail addresses and on our national PAGA web site at www.npaga.org .
All delegates that attended our National Winter Meeting in New Braunfels received an informative package from Mrs. Longoria with all pertinent information regarding the convention with all contact names and numbers. Please contact your local chapter delegate should you have any questions on the convention or you can directly contact:

The Corpus Christi chapter is ready and prepared to host our 2009 national convention and is offering a $500.00 Bonus to the chapter that sends in the most entries! I encourage every chapter to pleasesupport them by placing an ad in their convention brochure and by sending in as many members from your chapter as soon as your time permits.
Our 2009 National 3 rd Delegates Meeting & Workshop will be hosted by the Seguin, TX PAGA chapterdue to the Waco PAGA chapter dropping their plans to host this event due to sickness and unforeseen circumstances in their club.

I want to congratulate Mr. Robert Garcia from the San Antonio, TX chapter and Mr. Dan Ortiz from the Brownsville, TX chapter for having been selected as inductees into our National PAGA Hall of Fame for 2009. Both these gentlemen will be officially inducted into our Hall of Fame at our awards ceremony during our 2009 national convention in Corpus Christi.
Your chapter delegate has an abundant amount of information that was discussed and approved during our 2009 NPAGA Winter Meeting in New Braunfels. Please check with him on our newly passed and amended National Senior’s Guidelines, passage of our NPAGA Formalization of our future Winter Meeting Tournaments, information on our national trophy proposal, passage of our National PAGA Fund Raising Golf Ball Drop, and a list of all candidates that have filed for our national officer’s election that will take place during our convention in July.
On another quick note, I recently asked our national secretary to forward an attachment and letter to everyone pertaining to our National PAGA Ring Modified Proposal that was introduced by Mr. Joe Rodriguez from Wichita, Kansas. This modified proposal is in response to the tabling that took place on this proposal at our NPAGA Winter Meeting in New Braunfels. Please read the letter in its entirety and be ready to act on it as soon as your time permits. Please contact Mr. Rodriguez or me should you have any questions pertaining to any subject described on the letter.
I look forward in seeing all of you at our 2009 National PAGA Convention in July.
Until then, hit them long and straight!
