the Membership Chair.
Treasurer’s Report: Beginning July 1st, all games at
the CBC have been increased from $7 to $8 including Deschapelles games.
During the Regional, Deschapelles Club takes in no
money as there is no game during the Regional.
Currently, Deschapelles has a loss of -$1482.89. With the increase in entry fees, it is
expected that this deficit will be erased by the end of the year.
The Treasurer’s report was accepted.
Judy recommended
to the Board that Debbie Cummings be the Deschapelles representative to the CBA
Board. After no objections, a unanimous
vote was taken. Debbie agreed to take the
position. Sandy recommended that Debbie
bring to the attention of the CBA Board the lack of revenue to Deschapelles
during the Cincinnati Regional due to the cancellation of the game.
Hospitality Report: Sandy will take care of the staples of
potato chips/pretzels, peanut butter and crackers. Since Sandy will be unavailable most of
August and September, Linda Woodham agreed to be the person in charge during
August and Phyllis Bishop during September.
Members are encouraged to provide food.
Sandy wanted to extend a special thanks to everyone
who has provided food for Deschapelles.
New Business: Sandy discussed how important it is for those who first greet members
each Monday to be friendly.
The Board recommended that during the last round of
play an announcement be made thanking those who provided food as well as reminding
Members to make reservations. It is
vitally important that Debbie have an accurate count so that boards can be made
and tables set.
Reservations
can be made by email to Debbie or by calling or texting her. This is especially vital if Members have not
made a reservation during play as too many “walk-ins” cause problems for the
Director.
Next Meeting: October
21st
The
meeting was adjourned at 3:25.
Respectfully
submitted,
Phyllis
Bishop
Secretary
