The meeting was called to order by Bill Ringbom, President, at 4:00 p.m. Present were Board Members Gene Edgerton, Judy Obermeier, Bill Ringbom, Dolores Soll, Jean Wilson and Bud Zeuschner, as well as Barbara Weiss, Manager.
Minutes of the January 9, 2009 meeting were reviewed and approved.
Treasurer’s Report: The report was postponed until next month when Mary has returned.
Club Manager’s Report: (1) We are allowed 3 club championships. We can do the pro-ams on Saturdays…one will be during Janice Vivrette week and one on a Saturday in April. The Unit will do one Saturday game a month. (2) We are now keeping a few items in the refrigerator with the approval of Rec. and Parks. (3) On Monday there were 5 tables of 199ers so they comprised the C section for the game. Torre is starting a newcomer game and class on Thursdays at 5 Cities and is going to encourage players from her class to participate here so we may get to have a section for them. (4) Barbara has designed a new traveler score sheet which may help to avoid errors. (5) We need to continue to explore ways to increase the size of the Wednesday night game which is currently being subsidized by the club. (6) We have received a gift of two left-handed bidding boxes. Barbara will order four more red bidding boxes and some 1 club replacement cards.
Old Business:
Website: Bill has made the website changes referred to last month.
New Business:
Food for Sectional: The San Luis Obispo Club is responsible for the food at the sectional on Friday, February 20. A few people have already volunteered to donate food; Jean and Dolores will pursue additional donations next week. Bill will take care of ordering submarine sandwiches. Club funds can be used to supplement donations. Jean and Judy will be in charge of set-up of food on Friday afternoon. Bud will take care of the evening and Bud and Kandi will do cleanup. Bill will be backup.
Food at Monday games: It was decided that although we will not serve food on Monday on a regular basis, a time could come when we would want to do something special on a particular Monday. Club members are always free to bring in food but such occasions are not advertised in advance.
Swiss Team game: Judy suggested that we try to set up a Saturday Swiss Team game so members can learn more about Swiss Teams. There were some concerns expressed about the time and work involved and no action was taken.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 p.m. The next meeting will be after the game on Friday, March 6.
Respectfully submitted,
Dolores Soll, Secretary
