OLD BUSINESS

Sectional Tournament Report:  Nancy reported that the October Sectional was a success.  Everyone was pleased with the location and the consensus of the Board was to go ahead and reserve it for next year. The board commends Nancy for a job well done.  

            Regional Tournament:  Nancy reported on issues concerning the upcoming split sectional with Shreveport:  help is needed with hospitality. Also, she reported that a flyer will be included in the February edition of the District 10 publication.  The cost will be $350, which will be split with Shreveport.  The tournament will be posted on the internet.  We need to think about the gift bag that is given to participants at registration. Barbara will look into having Frank Brown come show us what he has.  Scott Sterns will do the daily bulletin.  The hotel will give us a free room or one at a reduced price.   

             Maintenance of Club House:  The Board discussed the installation of the carpet. After discussion, the Board voted 3-2-2 to have the carpet installed before the Christmas Party, either December 4th or 11th depending on the installer’s schedule.  Margaret will look into that.  Bill has sanded the bathroom partitions in the women’s bathroom and will take them apart and paint them.  It was suggested that a bar be installed in the handicapped stall at some point.

              Christmas Party: The Christmas party will be held on Dec. 15th. The board members agreed that we will serve ham and turkey.  Fran will buy the meat.  Barbara will buy/prepare sweet potatoes, dressing and gravy. Bill will get drinks needed for the bar. Nancy will put a sign-up sheet for members to indicate that they are coming.  The board will ask Ed to be chairman of clean-up.  Margaret will email the Webmaster and get the party posted on the internet.    

There being no new business, the meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,
