DEAR FELLOW MEMBERS,

I just want to first say thank you! Thank you for your incredible generosity and ongoing support of the CCN Endowed Scholarship – the largest club-sponsored endowment at the Francis Ouimet Fund, currently totaling over $430,000. By continually rising to the occasion we, as a Club, are able to create educational opportunities for deserving young men and women who put forth their best efforts on the golf course and in the Golf Shop to provide all Members and their guests with an amazing experience. It is hard to imagine CCN without them.

This year, the CCN Endowed Scholarship directly provided financial aid to four individuals worth just over $40,000. Coupled with more than $35,000 from the Ouimet’s general fund, over $80,000 in total scholarship money was awarded to nine CCN caddies and golf staff.

That said, there is still work to be done to ensure these opportunities remain in place and that the demands of a changing world are met. As tuitions continue to rise, it is even more important for our Club to continue our great tradition of supporting the young men and women who work at CCN. The success of the endowment is funded by Members who have elected to join the Francis Ouimet Society as a Lifetime Member. The Ouimet Society Lifetime Membership welcomed eight couples and one individual from the CCN Family this offseason, including Carolyn Clancy, Doug and Sheila Elliot, Bill and Susan Enlow, Peter and Kathy Joseph, Mike and Sigrid Laughlin, Kevin O’Brien, Jack and Barbara Roessner, Jim and Mary Ann Scaia, and Jeff and Sara Lou Sherman.

The Lifetime Membership donations go directly towards funding the Club’s Endowed scholarship, which is used to support the education of Cape Cod National caddies, golf staff and maintenance staff. If you are interested in learning more about our Endowed Scholarship or Lifetime Membership in the Francis Ouimet Society, please feel free to contact me via email at guillard@comcast.net.

This year we are very fortunate to have a strong caddie program, which includes not only familiar faces, but new ones, too. We as a Membership have the ability to impact all of these individuals in one way or another, and for those with collegiate aspirations, this certainly makes an immediate difference in relieving the financial burdens they may face.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Kathy Guillard CCN Ouimet Chair
