  MAGCS Annual Meeting
  
  December 2, 2020
  Online
  

  All members are invited to attend the Midwest Annual Meeting at 9:00 a.m. on December 2, 2020 through our Zoom portal. Once registered, an email confirmation will be sent with specific log in instructions. 

  Immediately following the Annual Meeting, the Midwest will lead a discussion on COVID operations at our golf facilities as we head into the winter months. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this educational event. We plan to discuss/compare each of our Golf Maintenance operations this year and how we were able to work safely and provide safe atmosphere for our patrons.  What worked and what didn’t and how will we change what we do next season.  Also, how prepared are we to work safely inside during the winter months? 

  There is no charge for this meeting.
