The detailed financial Audits for 2019 and 2020 have been posted.
The Board and Officers all have a fiduciary responsibility to manage your money while bringing you opportunities to enjoy golf with your Metro Seniors friends. We must account for your money completely, fairly and accurately. Proper financial controls and documents are critical.
The Audits or 2019 and 2020 identified significant problems and made recommendations to resolve these. These included inadequate control, approval and documentation for course contracts, prize distribution, and budget control.
Most of the current problems have centered on Metro Plus management. However, similar issues are included in a variety budgeted items in administration for all of Metro Seniors.
The Board and Treasurer have not been provided with proper documentation, review, approval, and use of course contracts for comparison to invoices or receipts. Further, terms and conditions – minimum guarantees, cancellation terms, deposit terms and details ae unknown. As a result, all of Metro Seniors may be exposed to significant liabilities.
We had similar issues several years ago with Special Events. With changes in leadership and financial controls the issues were resolved quickly. Now Special Events operations are a model of good governance, excellent financial control, and transparency and efficiency for prize payments and refunds.
The same management and financial control must be implemented for Metro Plus.

Recently, many of you have received emails that appear to be legitimate from Metro Senior Board members requesting that you purchase “Gift Cards” and send them to the sender. This is a scam!! If anyone sends you an email requesting you send anyone “Gift Cards” please delete the emails and DO NOT REPLY!
There are many of you who believe the sender is being “hacked!” This is not what is happening. Whether these notes are coming from an email, on Facebook or Instagram, are not breaches, but rather scammers trying to mislead you and scam you out of money.
When in doubt, do not reply, but call the person on the phone and ask them about the note you just received. I’m certain they will say they never sent the note. This activity will continue, no matter what we do, as long as we publish everyone’s email address on a public list. The board will be addressing this issue to find a suitable solution.

If you spot an error anywhere in the Website, please let us know. You can comment on the page to give everyone notice. We want accurate and timely information on the site. Your spotting of errors, broken links, or other issues will help.
