Hi alo,
Just so you know, here are the people running for the Board for March 1st.
Returning are:
Lisa Walker
Kim Ebner
Laurie Silton
Sherry Hansen
Jon Fuhgrman
Toban Toban
These six have one more year to serve.
New unit members running for the Board are:
Miriam Angel
Sherna Foucher
Mike Marcucci
‘Melanie Moran
Gloria Rommel
Pat Leuhrs
This makes 12 members of the Board for 2026-27 so no election is needed. These members will have two years to serve.
You can all see the Mini McKinney winners on the ACBL website, as well as the Ace of Clubs and the Virtual Ace of Clubs winners. The ACBL has sent emails to all the winners whose emails they have. I can print certificates for the winners but I have found that people don’t really want them. Your thoughts. It is a chore because I have to go to Office Depot and enter each email indifidually, probably about an hour or two worth of time. If you think we have to have this, let me know. You can come with me and help. Or take on this job.
See you all on March 1st!
Lisa
Concur with above.

I think that the certificates might mean a lot to beginning players or first 3 levels. Lisa, Zak and Mojo are working with those beginning players. Maybe they can run a few off and the board pay for them. Just a thought!

I agree with you, I can’t imagine anyone wanting a certificate, if they do is there a way they can print their own?

Dear Board,
This is a reminder of our Election Party on March 1st at the Unit Game. Zach will be directing that game. I believe we should charge non-unit members a card fee that day, as it is a unit event.
We are having Valarta and I will order it the week before. Liza has the plates and silverware already.
The following have one more year on their Board commitment:
Lisa
Kim
Laurie
Jon
Toban
The following are going to be returning to the Board:
Gloria
Pat
The following are running for a position on the Board:
Miriam Angel
Sherna Foucher
Mike Marcucci
And perhaps:
Mark Schaeffer
Stan Jeong
That makes 12 total which is the limit for the Board.
Has anyone heard about anyone else who wants on? I am hoping to avoid an election and the resultant paperwork and work that comes with that but if we have to, we will.
I already have the MiniMcKinny medals and who gets them. I also will be announcing the Ace of Clubs awards but there are no medals for that one.
Lisa
Attached is the agenda for Monday at 6:30 PM by Zoom. I have not transcribed the meeting minutes from last time yet but will get them to you before the meeting. Also I am attaching the Zoom link for those who do not have it.
Hi all
Just to remind you our next meeting will be Monday January 12 at 6:30. Miriam, can we get a financial report before then? Happy new year to all!
Lisa
