Message from the President:
Hi-

My name is Dawn Pivovar and I’m excited to begin the journey of President for the NNJ Chapter! I’ve been a member since 2012, and I decided that now is the time to start giving back to the Organization that I’ve held so dear for all of these years.

Effective immediately the following volunteers will make up the 2025 Board:
• Dawn Pivovar: President
• Stephanie Terrone: Vice President
• Pat Bringewatt: Treasurer
• Patty Elwood: Leagues
• Kim Maycott: Communications
• Jean Parmelli: Events

• Kim Kramer: Secretary

I am excited to begin where the previous Board left off and look forward to continuing to offer both golf and social events, leagues, and special offerings for our members! 

Please take a moment to help me welcome the new Board and thank the outgoing members for their past service. I look forward to meeting you all!

All my best- Dawn

2024 Member Referral Program

Thank you to all who referred a new member this year. As you may remember, our Member Referral Contest has two raffle award levels. Four members are selected for a $25 prize if they referred 1-2 new members, and two members are selected for a $50 prize if they referred 3 or more new members.

We recently held the yearly raffle drawing. Congrats go out to this year's $25 Award Winners Claire Toth, Carol Owens, Linda Coiro and Lori Dugan. Jean Parmelli brought in 14 new members this year, which is quite unprecedented! Given that no one else came close to this level, Jean has been awarded both $50 prizes!

This program has been created to show our appreciation to those referring members and is in addition to the "Member Get a Member" drive by National.  Remember…the more robust our Chapter becomes, the more events we can offer at more competitive prices! If you enjoy our Chapter, invite your friends to share the fun! All members with referrals are entered into our drawing at the end of the season. The more members you refer the greater your chances for a prize!
