Unit 484 Minutes
February 12, 2009

 Bob Fox, Addie Greene, Jerry Kenefick, Ellie Mitchell, Shirley Stoneberger, and Don Walker attended. Becca Ostrom and Gee Gee Walker were absent. Bernadine Lacy also attended to discuss the issue of the 2010 Medford regional.

 The January 8 minutes were accepted as amended.

TREASURER’S REPORT

 Kemble Yates’ carried forward reports showed a balance of $400 more than the unit has. He also found $176 that he didn’t know the unit had, so the true balance is down a little more than $200 from previous reports.

OLD BUSINESS

Ellie said we must have a working printer in time for the Spring Fling. March 14‑15. Bob explained that the ink jet printer he bought for $20 from Brother came with a 1/4‑full cartridge, and all the color cartridges that cartridges are more expensive than the $70 it would cost to buy a new laserprinter. Jerry moved that we buy a laser printer and offered to do so.

 Shirley and Don will discuss followup on the bridge roundup.

 Bob and Don will pick up the remaining tables still at the Scottish Rite.

Charles McCoy, the manager, is there from 9‑2 on Mondays, Bernadine said. 

NEW BUSINESS

George Quinn will be in charge of clean up for the Spring Fling, and Dorothy Purcell will help with hospitality. Bernadine will direct. The Aceof Clubs and Minney McKinney winners for 2008 will be announced. Don asked that the lunch break during the sectional Sunday Swiss teams be held earlier—no later than one o’clock. Bernadine said we ought to be abl to run three rounds and be finished by one. She will ask District 20 if itwill pay half our caddy fees on the day of the Grand National Teams final.

Bernadine attended to give her input on the next Medford regional, which Marilyn Vilhauer, District 20 Tournament Chair, suggested we postpone until 2011. Jerry moved, and Bob seconded the motion, that Unit 484 support holding the regional as scheduled in May of 2010. The motion carried unanimously. Both Becca and Gee Gee supported, in absentia, holding the regional as planned. In addition, Juanita Lake, president of the Grants Pass unit, Bobby Thompson, president of the Klamath Falls unit, and Mike Pavlik, president of the Yreka unit, support holding the regional in 2010.

 Bernandine suggested that we rename the regional the State of Jefferson message to players in Portland and the Bay Area.

I volunteered to be tournament chair for the regional.

 DISTRICT REPORT

Don asked that Bernadine request an org chart from the District 20 secretary showing the responsibilities of all district personnel and the chain of command from the district to the unit and its area rep. Don asked that each unit board review this information and approve it. The board asked Bernadine to bring up the issues of playing start times, and a coffee/snack bar readily available to players at the next regional whenshe meets with the district board during the Portland Regional.

The next meeting will be March 12 at the Masonic Lodge.

Respectfully submitted,

Addie Greene, secretary
