Grand National/Senior’s Games: Both games were good games, a good job by all.

Regional Tournament: Nancy gave an update on the upcoming split Regional with Shreveport. She pointed out that a sign up list for members to volunteer to help is posted. The Board discussed the playing rooms and their size and discussed the number of tables that might be needed. In addition to the tables at the Club House, there are tables stored at the Slaughters which we will use, also we could ask to borrow the tables that Marge Harrison used, and each member could bring a card table.

There will be a hospitality room at the Ashbury Suites that we will use to provide coffee and ice water. Each club in our unit will take a day to be responsible for the hospitality room. Mobile’s day will be Friday.

She also mentioned that the hotel will make and sell sandwiches for those who want them. Each person that wants to buy a lunch, would be asked to sign up in advance.
