It started around 1:30 in the afternoon with most of the players in attendance. The first issue of business was the recognition of the following donations: $100 from the Iron Mountain Chess Club and $25 from the Waukesha Chess Club toward the UP Open prize fund. Treasury Report: As of July 31, 1997 there is $532.56 in the LSCA Checking account. Currently there are more expenses than earnings, causing in a slow decrease in the amount the LSCA has in their checking account. Most of the expenses come from postage and the publication of the newsletter. Several other expenses over the past year include the purchase of several trophies and the affiliation fee. The dues were voted to remain at $6 per year for LSCA membership. Mike Hoffman was recognized and thanked for keeping the mailing list updated and current. New business issues included possible ways to raise money. One possible fund raiser would be a tournament with an entry fee that went to the LSCA Checking account and trophies donated by the Iron Mountain Chess club would be the prizes. The officers of the Lake Superior Chess Association were kept the same for the following year. The current officers are as follows: President - Greg Rose; Vice President - Tom Ceterski; Secretary - John Sleeman; Treasurer - Joe Rubatt; Editor - Justin Ceterski. The date of the UP Open and Championship is planned to be held once again on the third weekend of August, but an actual date is not yet established. |
