>> As we decided at our board meeting this week, I called Anne Farmer to work out the details for our contribution to the kids in her group.
>> As always seems to be the case in this relationship, things did not go entirely smoothly or as expected.
>> But I think we have worked out a resolution which will satisfy just about everybody.
>>  
>> As you recall, Anne is running the end-of-season tournament for her kids on May 6.
>> Our intention was to give $125 cash to each member of the winning pair.
>>  
>> Her organization is also taking some of the kids in the group to the Youth NABCs in Washington D.C.
>> We offered to pay up to $750 total to kids who could demonstrate to our satisfaction that they needed the subsidy.
>>  
>> Here is what has developed since then. 
>> At the tournament May 6, there will be four winners – a North-South pair, and an East-West pair.
>> Also, Anne wants to award an Amazon gift card of $100 to each of the winners.
>>  
>> As to travel to D.C., she expects a total of four kids to go, all from the McClure Middle School.
>> Of those, she thinks three of the families are financially self-sufficient; and only one kid needs a partial subsidy to be able to go.
>> Anne says she is prepared to pay that subsidy herself (or maybe it is Seattle NextGenBridge money).
>>  
>> She and I discussed it (at some length!); and here is what we worked out, subject to your approval.
>> We propose that the Unit buy the four Amazon gift cards, for a total of $400.
>> Patti, or Ann Romeo, will be present at the tournament, and will award those prizes to the four winners, on behalf of the Unit.
>> Travel subsidies will be totally up to Anne Farmer and NextGenBridge.
>>  
>> I have discussed this proposed resolution with Tim, and with Patti and Ann Romeo.
>> Patti, Ann and I are the members of our Unit board who are also members of the board of Seattle NextGenBridge.
>> The four of this are agreeable to this resolution – although I think all of us are a little frustrated as to the bumpy road which led to it.
>>  
>> The purpose of this e-mail is to see if any of the other members of the Unit board object to this resolution.
>> If so, please “reply to all” this weekend.
>> But if I don’t hear any prompt objections from anyone, I will let Anne know that this will be the arrangement.
>>  
>> Thanks!
