Treasurer’s Report
– Moved by Joanne Nelson, seconded by
John Hadley to accept the Treasurer’s report for January 2009. Accepted unanimously.
Town
Hall Meeting It was noted that the town hall meeting is set
on the Saturday of the Regional tournament in San Francisco; however, that
issue was discussed when the date was originally selected, therefore, it was
decided that the meeting will proceed as scheduled. Wayne Boss reviewed the
handouts that will be distributed at the meeting. If it should happen that closure is not
reached in the allotted time on the 14th, the meeting will be continued on
Saturday, February 28, 2009, 10:30 am. Bruce Dau will assist as scribe for the
discussion. All board members are encouraged
to attend. Nancy Wainer will put an
invitation on her website and send an email to all of her Bridge Camp
participants encouraging them to attend the town hall meeting.
Extended
Team Knockouts Hal was unable to get the rules of contest
for extended team games from ACBL. He
will contact Virginia Calhoun to see if she has a copy of the rules that were
used in a previous game. If not, Nancy
Wainer will work with Wayne Boss to develop rules.
Unit
Games Further discussion confirmed that unit members
will be asked to bring finger foods and desserts to the unit games. Pam will develop a template for a unit game
sign-up sheet that includes the request.
John will use that template to prepare the sign-up sheet for unit games
that will be posted on the unit’s bulletin board.

Handzel Ms Handzel (an SCBC member) addressed the

pursue some of these suggestions and invited Ms. Handzel to attend the town
hall meeting on the 14th.
