We are very pleased to inform you of the highly anticipated grand opening of the newly
constructed Normandy Shores Golf Club (NSGC) and invite you to all the exciting events that
will be held the week of December 21, 2008. As schedules do not allow many of the
Commissioners to be in attendance, the formal ribbon cutting will be scheduled after the
holidays. So as not to delay the opening, the NSGC will undergo a soft opening on the 22"d of
December.
