JULY SECTIONAL:

 

The proposed dates for a 299er sectional are July 8 and 9.  There are 119 members of our bridge club who qualify as 299ers.  The break-even point is 12 tables per session.  We will check with Harbor High School and ACBL to confirm dates and availability.  Jerry suggested that we call Pat Thomas in Monterey so we do not conflict with there 299er sectional.

 

 

 

 

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS

    

Hospitality, we are still looking for someone to take over the Hospitality Chairman.  In the meantime the Board Members will fill in.  The Unit will reimburse all expenses incurred for preparing the food.

 

Unit Games, we aren’t getting C players to attend the unit games.  Wayne will ask Nancy Wainer to announce the Unit games at the Tuesday night games.

 

Web Site, Ken will talk to Michael Roberts to develop a website maintenance plan.  Many of the operational problems with the website have been resolved recently.  It was agreed that future change would be limited to incremental improvements.

 

Membership, it was decided that Jan 15 would be the last day to submit the survey questionnaires.  The Board, the Committee and directors will review the summarized results.  Bill McIntosh said that the directors are ready to make changes in response to survey results.

 

October Sectional, Diana Schilling reported that Harbor High couldn’t give us the Oct 7 or 14 dates because of conflicting High School activities.  They have Sept 16 or 23.  The Board members preferred the later date.  Diana will confirm the date and secure the ACBL sanction.

 

Forum, Jeanne Boss will prepare the articles for the Forum.  The Board expressed appreciation for Nancy Wainer’s effort in writing the articles in 2005.
