SECRETARY’S REPORT
The minutes of the last
meeting are posted on the District 11 Web Site. (Copy attached) Larry Jones moved and Terrell Holt seconded
that the minutes be approved as written.
Passed unanimously Nancy
Sachs asked that everyone keep Potter Orr posted on changes to the mailing
list.
TREASURER’S
REPORT. Adrienne Netherwood distributed the
Treasurer’s Report. (Copy attached). The current balance is $30,927.96; $ 4481.10 of this is the Midwest Monitor balance,
of which $17,000 is earmarked for future NABC’s within District 11. Terrell Holt moved and Barb Levinson seconded
that the report be approved as written.
Passed unanimously.
DISTRICT DIRECTOR’S REPORT Beth
Reid posted her report from the NABC on the District Web site. She sent her report to the unit presidents,
who should be responsible for getting this report to their Boards.
MIDWEST MONITOR Brad Bartol, Editor, distributed his holiday STaC report (Copy attached). He ran this for the benefit of the Monitor. One game did not pay their fees; this will be
taken care of by the Unit. Also, a few either
over or under paid. A game that overpaid
will have a credit toward the next Monitor STaC. The fee was $5.00 per table. There were 105 games and 932 tables. The
amount that should have been paid was $4,600.00. The amount actually paid was
$4,582.50. We made a profit and felt it
was a successful event, and should be continued next year. Terrell Holt moved and Judy Drejer seconded
that Brad run this event next year for the benefit of the Midwest Monitor.
Passed unanimously.
TOURNAMENT REPORT Tournament Coordinator, A. J. Stephani, distributed
a Report and the 2012 Schedule.
(Copy attached) He
will send the other schedules to Potter for distributions. The dates were reviewed. Louisville and Lexington want to move the
venue from the Horseshoe Casino. They
have been looking at other possible sites, but have not been able to agree on
one at this time. They will continue to
look at other venues, make a decision, and report on this at the next board
meeting. There is a conflict in 2016 between the
Lexington Sectional and the Cincinnati Regional. Lexington wants to keep their traditional weekend
May 13-15; Cincinnati does not want to have their Regional on the traditional
weekend that year, because it is the same weekend as Derby Day and Mother’s
Day. Other possible dates were
discussed; the Regional should be in the second quarter. The district’s policy is to have one regional
each quarter. Cordell Coy will check
into available dates for the venue in June of 2016 in Cincinnati. The Board appeared to be receptive to the idea
of moving the Cincinnati Regional to a June time slot. If this occurred, Indianapolis expressed
interest in moving their early March Regional forward to maintain the current
stagger between their Regional and the Cincinnati Regional. There is also a
conflict in 2015 between the Dayton/Columbus Regional and the Evansville Sectional. This will not be a problem if they split the
Regional with the Southern Indiana Unit.
Terrell Holt stated that the Southern Indiana wishes to split the
regional every three years. Hopefully
the conflicts will be resolved before the next Board Meeting. The Units involved will report at that time. A. J. Stephani reminded the Units that
changes to the existing sanctions should be made through him.
NAP/GNT District
Chairman, Kit Overpeck, reported that the hosts for the GNT Finals will be
Dayton in 2013 and Lexington in 2014.
The host for 2015 has not been determined. The possibility of changing the starting times
was discussed. The possibility of having
the different flights on different weekends was discussed. In the past the Board decided that it was too
difficult to find more available weekends, and the attendance does not warrant
it. Potter Orr, Cincinnati, asked that
different starting times for the NAP Final be discussed. It was suggested that this year we keep the
1:00 and 7:00 starting times, and ask the participants for their opinions
regarding this issue.
OLD BUSINESS
Education
Chairman: Bill Sentman appointed Dallas
Moore to this position.
NEW BUSINESS
It was noted
that the District needs to purchase some new bidding boxes and new cards for
some of the boxes we have. Maribeth
Ransel moved and Potter Orr seconded
that we make this purchase. Passed
unanimously. Gary Peterson will take care of this and bring the boxes to the
Cincinnati Regional.
Jan
Gimbrone asked about a list of names and addresses for mailing the flyers for
distribution. Terrell Holt has an
updated list for Unit 164 clubs which he can mail to anyone who wants it.
Potter Orr
announced that the new President of the ACBL will be coming to the Cincinnati
Regional and hopefully will attend our Board Meeting.
Maribeth
Ransel will send Adrienne Netherwood the names of the people who made
reservations and did not attend. There
were 22 reservations and 20 people in
attendance.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Z. Sachs
