Director's
Meeting in February
Ginny
informed the Board that there were Director courses available in February. Two courses are available. One is a refresher course; the second is on
the ACBL Score computer program. They
cost $10-$20. There was a motion to pay
for the Club Director to attend the courses.
The motion was seconded and passed.
Attendance/Attitudes
It was
noted by the Board that attendance increased with Ginny Steele as Club
Manager. She reported that she has sent
letters and free plays to new players in town.
It was questioned if this was not a Unit function, but nonetheless,
Ginny is doing it specifically for the FCDPC (Wednesday night group). It was agreed by the Board members that this
practice should continue.
Other
ideas were discussed to increase attendance such as having two Team games per
month rather than one since the Team Game generally has the best attendance; or
sponsoring special events such as a night when Life Masters could not play with
other Life Masters and would be encouraged to play with a non-Life Master. It was agreed that this topic be tabled for
the 2007 Board to discuss further.
