Unit
143 Board Meeting
July
8, 2009
The
meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. All Board members
attended except for Bob Wheeler and Donna Pedrotti. In addition
to the Board members, Mike Carmen and Mary Hruby were present.
Due
to large agenda we had, the normal format of the meeting was
not followed. Subjects covered were the following:
1.
Room reservations
for the regional: As we get closer to the date of
the regional, the executive board will review with Mike Carmen,
Tournament Director, the number of rooms booked. If we have
not met our quota , we will try to come up with some way to
book those rooms with local people(at a discount if necessary)
so as to off-set being penalized
2.
We reviewed the upcoming
budget and it was decided that we would vote on the budget
at the September meeting. We are waiting to see what the regional
is like and if we need to up all prices for next year's tournaments.
We also need to check some figures with Mike that Bob is going
to do.
3.
As in the past, Mary
Hruby will handle the date book. Ed Hale's games have been
grand fathered since they are so far away and he has been
setting the date's way before they joined Unit 143. Steve
Zenk, the liaison for club directors will also be available
to Mary and the directors, should any problems arise.
4.
Novice Silver point games:
After much discussion, it was unanimously voted that sanctioned
silver- point games would not be offered to the club directors.
If a club director wants to have a special game with additional
points given, that can be arranged- just not silver point
games. Therefore, the game that was scheduled at Bridge Haven
for this fall will have to be cancelled or changed.
5.
Bob Janis was given the
approval to switch to whatever bank he wishes to deal with.
6.
Policy and Procedure
Manuals : Board members got sections to review and revise
or delete- whichever they felt pertinent.
7.
We are giving insulated
lunch bags as section –top awards this year They will be blue
with the St Louis Arch Logo. Enough have been ordered that
Jane will be able to use what is left for her novice tournaments.
The
meeting was adjourned at 9:20.
