| Updates from the Chiefs Club: September 30, 2019 |
Dear Chiefs Club members,
 View a video with a special message from current Catawba Chiefs Club Board member Trent Bradshaw.
OUR Catawba Chiefs Club continues to grow each week. We need to get to over 600 members by October 1st to meet the challenge from Bill Graham, our Board of Trustee’s Chairman. We need 55 more members to get to 600!
If each of our current Chiefs Club members could help us find a few more people willing to join and help support our Catawba Chiefs Club, we would reach our goal by October 1st. Ask a friend who could come with you to our Catawba home games, ask a former Catawba classmate, ask a former teammate to join. What a good reason to help get back in touch with a few people who would join OUR Catawba Chiefs Club if you asked them to! Ask someone you know that owns a local business to consider joining. Our business listing is growing just like our Chiefs Club membership and those businesses are getting a lot of exposure each Monday with our growing Chiefs Club membership e-newsletter.
We also need the support from our former Catawba student-athletes to meet this goal and our overall goal to have over 750 member in OUR Catawba Chiefs Club. If you are a former Catawba student-athlete, ask some of your teammates to join. Help give back to support the same athletic scholarships they received while playing on a team at Catawba.
Memberships start as low as only $100. You gift is tax-deductible, will place you on our weekly Chiefs Club e-newsletter that goes out each Monday, and the funds we raise with our Catawba Chiefs Club goes back to help support our athletic teams.
It would really help our efforts if you would forward this message to anyone you think would consider joining and helping us get one step closer to OUR goal of 750 members.

Here we go again: Catawba Chiefs Club 2019-2020! For the past two years, OUR Chiefs Club membership has been over 500 members. This year, our goal is to have over 750 Chiefs Club members. We need the support from our past Chiefs Club members, as well as our former student-athletes. We also have the Chiefs Club Challenge mentioned above from our Catawba Board of Trustees Chair Bill Graham, who is also a former student-athlete at Catawba College.
From Bill Graham: In an effort to support and help the Chief's Club grow, I will contribute $100 (unrestricted) for every new Chief's Club member added from now until September 10th, 2019 in order to get to 600 members. After the 600 number has been reached, I will contribute $200 to the Chief's Club for every new member thereafter and $300 for each member over the 750 membership number. This offer expires October 1st, 2019. A new member is defined as anyone that has not been a Chiefs Club member for at least one year.
Our Chiefs Club membership is growing. Forward this email to anyone you think would be interested in helping support OUR Catawba Chiefs Club. This includes over 525 current Catawba student-athletes, 23 varsity teams, two JV teams, 117 athletic scholarships, a weekly Chiefs Club newsletter, and your gift to the Catawba Chiefs Club is tax-deductible. The funds raised by the Catawba Chiefs Club help support the 117 athletic scholarships that Catawba College offers.
Homecoming registration has opened! If you are planning on attending any of our athletic championship team reunions, please register today! There is no charge for our athletic championship team reunions, but your response will help us plan for our special events.

Women’s Golf – Rendleman Invitational – Country Club of Salisbury
Just a little background information on the Patsy Rendleman Invitational Golf Tournament and the Richard Rendleman Invitational Golf Tournament. Both tournaments are played at the Country Club of Salisbury. The women’s tournament in the fall and the men’s tournament in the spring.
 
The women’s tournament is named in honor of Patsy Rendleman, class of 1947. Mrs. Rendleman has been a member of the Catawba College Board of Trustees since 1975 and is an exemplary community leader and avid golfer. She was instrumental in starting the Catawba Women’s Golf team in 1999.
She has won 20 club championships, is a past president of the Women’s Carolinas Golf Association, and also help start the 1st Tee program at the Country Club of Salisbury. She has two career holes in one. This will be the 15th year for the Patsy Rendleman Invitational.
The men’s tournament is named in memory of Richard Rendleman, class of 1941. The Catawba MVP award for golf was name in honor of Richard Rendleman in 1988. Mr. Rendleman was an outstanding golfer for many years and recorded 11 career holes in one. A four-year golf letterman, 1938-41, he helped lead his team to 9-4 record in 1940, qualified for U.S. Open Championship 1948, advanced to third round of U.S. Amateur 1951, Salisbury Country Club champion five times, Salisbury CC Labor Day Tournament champion six times, Grandfather Golf and CC champion twice, Elk River Golf Club champion three times, twice scored six-under par 65 at Salisbury CC, and a charter member of the Catawba Chiefs Club. Mr. Rendleman played collegiate golf at Catawba and was inducted into the Catawba Sports Hall of Fame in 1987. This will be the 27th year for the Richard Rendleman Invitational Tournament.
Both Rendleman invitational golf tournaments usually have around 25 teams playing in the tournament, which serves as a fundraiser for both Catawba College Golf teams.
