Change in Date of May Pro-Am The May Pro-Am game will be held on May 21st, rather than May 14th, since the second Sunday is Mother’s Day. Howard mentioned that maybe we should consider Swiss Games rather than Pro-Am, but the board said not now.
Problems with Starting Games on Time A discussion of starting games on time followed. It was decided that Phyllis would tell directors to remind people to call if they are running late. Phyllis will make an announcement asking people to call if they are going to be late. Players should make an effort to get to the games 5 or 10 minutes early.
Income tax Phyllis filed our Income Tax.
Phone Call from Press Register Barbara reported on a phone call she got from Charles Croft of the Mobile Press Register. He has offered to publish the winners of each week’s games in the newspaper. We are pleased to get the publicity. He will also publish the Club’s telephone number. Phyllis will give him the names.
Water Problem Concern was expressed about the water on the baseboard inside the building. It was thought the problem might be that the gutters need cleaning out. Bill volunteered to contact his person to check it out and for an estimate to clean out the gutters. He was given permission to spend $200.00.
Semi-Annual Report Bill
recommended that we publish a semi-annual report to distribute to the club
members. Phyllis asked Bill to look into
compiling such a report.
