<div dir="ltr"><div>I won't be there tonight, but my comments re Sweetheart, and upcoming I/N, and a plug for something I think we need to do.</div><div> </div><div>Sweetheart: all went well on my end, re hospitality and the show in general. Couldn't have done it without the Board's(and Renea's) help with the lunch (set up and serving) and especially Susan C, Tom Robinette, Gilda Joyce and Sharon Erwin's help in the kitchen on Sat and Sun--they were all troopers. I think we ought to send thank yous to Gilda, Tom and Sharon--above and beyond.</div><div> </div><div>Lunch was extremely well recieved. People were served fast, salads were tasty. We can do this again this year, just not right away. Also, I think it helped a lot that I didn't get to play and could 'supervise', as it were, for all parts of the lunch: pre, during and post clean up. It made for a very looooong day, however.</div><div> </div><div>I know I was totally wiped out afterwards--Aaron can attest. </div><div> </div><div>I/N: I'm going to do fruit salad and bagels on Sunday, the rest of the hospitality is somewhat under control (anyone want to contribute, please do!--and the girl scouts have some gluten free cookies that look great). I'll try to be there by 8:30 Sat and Sun for set up, and will be there for take down. Will be on site most of the event, unless I get a game for ESBC on Sat. Costco run will be done on Friday.</div><div> </div><div>I'm going to the April District Board meeting: anyone have any issues, bring them up to Tim and me and we'll get them on the agenda. I think Tim and I will do a joint report in the Sun afterwards--that's a habit we need to keep doing going forward.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I wanna jump up and down for the idea of a retreat this summer for the Board and other interested parties to help brainstorm for how to increase attendance/interest in Unit events. How to attract I/Ns to play, how to intice the LMs who drop off, how to get the party bridge players to dip their toes into clubs and sectionals. I think club owners/managers may be interested in such an event as well.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>See you at the I/N and at the next meeting. Sorry for skipping out last minute.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div>Ann Romeo<br><a href="mailto:annromeo@gmail.com" target="_blank">annromeo@gmail.com</a></div>
