Plenty of time to advertize for this game that it will be in the evening and not during the day.
Secretary report:
Director’s Report: Shirley Liss suggested we sign up for instant match point games in the fall (Oct. 16) Friday morning. Discussion about whether the games had to be played in the morning to align with other clubs was questioned. Shirley and Penny will look into this. Shirley also suggested May and August STaC games, Penny will look into this as well.
Tuesday & Wednesday & Friday directors of games : Tuesday evenings: Gail Ballou; Wednesday afternoons: Julie Werda or Penny Wakefield; Friday evenings: Shirley Liss. Penny will be gone for Wednesday games Dec. 10 and 17, Jan, 7 and 14, Betty Chavez and/or Shirley Liss will be asked to step in as director for those games.
Education report: Fall class is just finishing up and a new Spring class will begin on Saturday, January 24 and Monday January 26, 2015
Old Business: Mailbox is paid through April, club will reevaluate necessity at that time. Purchasing a new computer was discussed again, Gail has priced them ($400-600) and will proceed with a purchase.
New Business: The Tuesday games will continue through December and beyond if attendance doesn’t decline. Since the rent for the Senior Center is paid in advance, there is the need to tell them which days we will not be using the Senior Center before we pay the rent.
Proposals: Marcia will verbally give Bill Allen a reminder to continue to make payments on his debt to the club, 3 yea votes. Penny proposed we pay $1 per board to whoever is setting up STaC boards, 4 yea votes.
