LOAN PAID OFF: In July 2002
the Club purchased an additional 40 acres of land, adjacent to land all ready owned. This purchase consisted of a Golf Driving
Range and contiguous farmland. The
purchase was paid for by a combination of a bank loan and monies from our Land
Fund Savings Account (to which you contribute every year). Ken Cook & Ed Braasch have been managing
the Golf Driving Range since the purchase.
ALL of the profits have been applied to the land fund. With these additional funds we were able to
PAY OFF this loan this past July, two years early! Thanks Ed & Kenny!!
