TREASURER’S REPORT

 

Jerry handed out the financial report which was accepted and approved. Jerry announced that all financial accounts have been transferred to other people in preparation for his moving away from Charlotte.

 

FACILITY REPORT

 

We now have a site plan for the parking pad to submit to the city. We are awaiting the CDOT to approve the plan before submitting it to the County Commissioners. Don Lassiter will be asked to follow up on this.

 

There will be a light or bell installed outside in the smoking area to enable the smokers to know when a round ends.

 

OLD BUSINESS

 

Thanks to Sue and Bruce Bedient for attending the Hilton Head meeting. The District has given us $250 for the NLM Board.

 

The Open House will take place on March 15 at 10 A.M. Many organizations have responded favorably and we hope for a good turn-out.  John Glover has asked the Observer to publish the invitation in Sunday’s “Neighbors.”  Fran Bacon and Mary Ann Mortimer are in charge of refreshments.

 

Craig reported on the Mentor Program. There are sign-up sheets in the main room and proprietors have been asked to announce the program.

 

Michael Starr will take charge of the library . Jane and Ross will investigate re-arranging the library furniture.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

There have been complaints of some people using “psych” bidding. When it happens, it should be reported to the proprietor and written up.

 

When there are four or more tables in the teaching games, and play a sanctioned game, the proprietor will be charged the $40 rental fee. If there are fewer than four, the fee will be waived.

 

The Dilworth Criterium is Saturday, May 3. Parking will be a problem that day.  Gene Manion will make the decision of possibly cancelling.

 

The date of our 2010 Sectional Tournament has been moved from November 7 to November 15.

 

The next meeting will be April 2 at 4 P. M.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 5 P.M.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Susan Young, Secretary
