Don announced that he is resigning as Vice-President. He feels that there was no communication within the executive regarding trophies and he felt that he could have saved the league some money. He also feels that decisions were made without discussion with the rest of the executive and he doesn’t think this is right.
Jan spoke up and said that she was the reason that Don was resigning. Every year Jan pays for the trophies at Karen Moore’s. Jan was on vacation and had time to select and pay for the trophies. She knew that Connie was going away and was trying to help by giving her one less thing to do. Connie and Jan didn’t discuss this with the rest of the executive because there has been no need to in past years. Jan reminded everyone that the executive volunteer their time and she was only doing what we do every year with regards to selecting and paying for the trophies.
Helen said that she would like Don to stay. There is only one meeting left and she would like to him to stay as Vice-President as he is doing a good job. The executive agreed with Helen and asked him to stay. Don decided to stay.
Helen said that there is a problem with the tables at Dave Doolittle’s. The cloth is too loose and the lighting is broken. Several other people concurred with Helen about the condition of the tables.
Don said he would speak to the owner about fixing the cloth and lights by the play offs. If this cannot be done that an alternate venue will be chosen for the Dave Doolittle’s team when they are home. There is precedence for this and proper table specifications are listed in the leagues bylaws.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:55.
