CALLING ALL GREYSTONE HISTORIANS!

IN ONLY THREE DECADES, GREYSTONE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB HAS CREATED AN IMPRESSIVE AND LEGENDARY HISTORY!

As part of our 30th Anniversary celebration in 2021, we are formulating a new, permanent-standing Historical Committee. This committee will assist in locating, collecting, studying, and preserving the historical records of Greystone and promoting the celebration and communication of our history to our members and the general public. The Historical Committee will be composed of at least five to nine (5-9) Greystone members including the Historical Committee Chairman who will report to the Board of Directors and the General Manager of Greystone. Mr. Dale Gorham has agreed to serve as the Chairman for the upcoming 2021 year. Committee members will not rotate in short terms as with our other club committees but will be expected to serve continuously as long as they are able to contribute to the work that is expected and are able to attend the meetings as required by the rules of the committee. Our plans are to hold our first meeting in February of 2021. One of the first goals of the Historical Committee will be to catalog what items may already be available within our own club files and those of our new Committee members. Once this list is created, we will post it on the greystonecc.com website and then call on our Greystone membership to fill in what is missing with the donations of their own items. So hold on to your treasures until we can determine if they are needed or not for our archives. The Committee will be looking for hard-working, dedicated members who may have experience – both past and present – with historical societies, libraries, museums and other various history related

activities and careers. It will be also be preferable, but not required, for committee members to have experience with digitizing documents, word processing, storage and preservation of historical items, display creation and some basic experience with social media.

The Historical Committee will be an exciting opportunity for our members, both young and old, to enjoy sharing their passion for history and at the same time preserving Greystone’s history for future generations. We hope you will join us in volunteering to serve on this worthwhile committee. For more information, please contact Mr. Dave Porter via email at dporter@greystonecc.com or call the Club at 205-980-2500.
