DEAR ALL,
Attached is the Agenda for the Board meeting after the Unit game on Sunday. We should start around 4 PM.
Who has the Blue pouch with the change for the game? Mike will not be there.
I am attaching the agenda, a work sheet with direction for check in at the Unit game created by Toban, and the minutes from the last meeting. Mike do we have a financial report?
Lisa
For over 26 years I have provided our unit a website, and currently a there are a little over a hundred. Logins every day.
All this time I was on the ACBL mailing list and received the monthly unit in-and-out report and I have been able to to put the names of our players who have advanced in rank, won an event, transferred in or out, etc.
For some very dumb reason, they have decided to limit that information to only board members, but they told me I should ask one of our board members to send me an email copy every month. This the second time I have asked, so now I’m frustrated.
Please, please, somebody help me out and forward your copy of the monthly in-and-out report! Please?
I have two email addresses and would appreciate a copy be sent to both.
Thank you!

I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Pat the list had your gmail address as your email address, so it didn't
recognize sbcglobal. I added this one.

Toban and Sherna
are not on the 559 membership list! Jon is.
Toban and Sherna can you contact Roy to get your names added to the unit
roster?
I will continue to investigate your missing from the Pianola -the site I do
email through- until we solve our mystery.
Not Agatha Christie but pretty interesting!
Pat
