MEMORANDUM
Date: March 6, 2009
To: Unit 550 Members
From: Unit Board of Directors
Subject: Town Hall Meeting
Results
Thanks to all the SC Bridge
Center members that participated in the Town Hall meeting. The comments and
input into the problem of the Unit deficits were constructive and valuable.
Attached is the summary of the voting of the members’ preferences regarding the
suggested actions that could be adopted.
At the March 6th
meeting, the Unit Board discussed at length the results of the Town Hall
meeting. The Board decided to pursue fundraising activities first even though
raising the table fees received the most support. It was the consensus of the
Board that fundraising may well solve the deficit problem without an increase
in the table fees. However, if the fundraising is insufficient, the issue of
raising the table fees will be reconsidered.
Teri Handzel, a new member, has
volunteered to head the effort to hold an upscale rummage sale in late May or
June. More details will be sent to you shortly about this event. Also, a sub
committee of the Board consisting of Ken Llacera, Barry Samuel, Pam Benz and
Bruce Dau will continue to explore other fundraising options as suggested at
the Town Hall Meeting.
