Dear Fellow Brentwood Country Club Member,
I hope this email finds you and your family safe and healthy. For those of you who don’t know me, I am a board member and also the chair of the Golf Operations committee at the club. As you have heard, the board has taken the extraordinary step of furloughing most of our club employees so that they can take advantage of the unemployment provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (aka the CARES Act). This allows employees to receive the equivalent or almost the equivalent of their wages from the government until our club can reopen.
However, this law affects our tennis, golf and fitness professionals differently than it does our other employees. Our teaching professionals receive an hourly wage and derive a significant majority of their income from lessons. The unemployment provisions in the CARES Act do not cover their teaching income, which will put them in a very difficult financial situation. As you know, the pros have already have been without any teaching income since March 17.
I am writing to you personally because you and/or someone in your family takes golf lessons from Tanya Dergal. Tanya could really use some help right now to supplement her lost teaching income during the coronavirus crisis. If you are in a position to, I hope you would consider providing some direct assistance to Tanya. I have set up a GoFundme Campaign for your convenience.
Although I don't take lessons from Tanya I am giving to this campaign because I feel our employees at Brentwood Country Club are essential to the joy that the club brings myself and my family. We think of all BCC employees as extended members of our own family, and we want to do everything we can to help them. If you are in a position to, I hope you would consider helping as well.
On a side note, Tanya has reached out to a company to help improve our short game – especially helpful while we have some unexpected free time. She can have indoor putting mats shipped to your home at cost. The website is https://wellputt.com/ and feel free to find your desired mat and contact Tanya to order.
Thanks so much for considering this and thank you in advance for your generosity.
Please stay safe.
