Long story short, the facility was double-booked and we are out. Going forward we will address lessons learned for our relationship with North Seattle College.<div><br></div><div>More immediately, we must secure a new site for February so we can update TourneyTrax that feeds event data to the ACBL website (it now shows NSC), proceed with the flyer & marketing, and address other planning for the tournament. And we must let Vasa Park, which we have been carrying as a backup to NSC, know whether or not we will be renting their facility for February.</div><div><br></div><div>I have been in communication with Bev Colgrove, our contact at Bothell. She has confirmed that all three classrooms are available for us for our sectional on February 17-19, 2017. She has put us on the calendar for the facility. To enable us to get on with matters requiring attention for the February sectional, I strongly encourage the board to quickly reach a consensus on going to Bothell in February. <b>Please advise ASAP if you have an objection to this. </b> I want us to reach a consensus on the February site ahead of our board meeting next Wednesday, 10/5.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tim</div></body></html>
