Nominations:
Barbara Kingston announced that she is moving to Palm Desert which makes her
ineligible to continue on the board.
Barbara recommended Carol Jory replace her as recording secretary and Chairman
of the Activities Committee.
Geoff will ask Carol to finish out Barbara’s term on the Executive Committee.
This now leaves two open positions on the Board of Directors.
VI.
OLD BUSINESS: There was
continued discussion regarding the District Tournament after 2010. Ralph
Anderson is no longer available and
Geoff Griffin doesn’t have the time to run it. Several possibilities were
discussed. Geoff is to follow up with researching possible replacements
for Tournament Director and Referee.
VII.
NEW BUSINESS: Discussion
regarding YTSD request for financial assistance for G16/18s dinner. It was
agreed that this really is not a
new item for discussion, that the dinner was budgeted. If they are requesting
further assistance a formal budget and grant request needs to
be submitted. The grant committee can then consider a possible second grant if
funds are needed following the final numbers at the end of
the tournament. There was also some discussion of the Regional Tennis center and
our relationship with Barnes. The issues are complicated
and it will take some time to finalize a plan.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:10pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Kingston, Recording Secretary Geoff Griffin, President
Tennis – The Sport for a Lifetime
