party went really well. We had 40 participants, 20 from bracket 1 and 20 from
bracket 2, making an even 10 teams. We constructed teams by having a random draw
making sure we had 2 members from each bracket on every team and also making
sure that no team had people from their own RR team on it. Everyone played one
round with each of their team members.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

I know a lot of the inexperienced players loved the opportunity to play with
more experienced players.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Ford for volunteering and directing this game. It took a lot of planning as we
had to collect RSVP’s, make “even” teams, make 5 sets of boards, and clean up
the club when it was over. He also showed up an hour early to figure out how to
do swiss team scoring on the bridemates which made the event run particularly
smoothly and in a timely manner.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Bolan, Aaron Mohrman and Jeff for staying after and helping me clean up. We all
knew that Ann had to leave for the UW game as she made that very clear. I
thought all board members were going to help clean up. I was the only board
member left at the end but the 3 above stayed after while we cleaned up and did
all of the dishes and got rid of the trash.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

W. and Susan C for showing up just in case we needed them as fill ins. It turned
out we didn’t, but it was so nice to know that they were there as some folks
didn’t trickle in until actual game time.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

would like to suggest that we give Jeff free plays at our next tournament as a
thank you for all of his hard work. If we had to hire a director, it would have
cost us more than $100. He went above and beyond to make this a special event
for everyone and he isn’t even on the board. I don’t know if you realize how
much Jeff does for the board behind the scenes but I am guessing everyone will
find out soon enough now that he isn’t on the board anymore. This would be a
small token of our appreciation and I think it would be a nice gesture.
