[SBU Board] Fwd: New Virtual Club

[David Dailey]

The ACBL rules for guest players at Virtual Clubs are not relevant to this
situation.  The Tacoma club has been added to the pool of clubs that
includes all Unit 446 clubs and the Everett club.  Any player already
eligible to play as a non-guest at any of those clubs can play as a
non-guest at all of those clubs.  Using a tool available to club directors,
I have confirmed that my own list of associated clubs has been expanded to
include Tacoma.

I support making the Tacoma club's information available to our members via
the website.

--David
