<DIV>Hi all:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. I will add Jennifer and Dee to this event’s free play list, as
directed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. JC has given us a nice complete and detailed coverage of the fees
on the web site. I tried to summarize that with a table that would be
convenient for a harried Director selling entries.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. It certainly would be good to have a general understanding of what
merits a free play or two, something along the lines suggested by Eric. I
think these are best handled by Hospitality and Tournament chairs handing out
(authorizing) one or more of the free play slips now kept in the partnership
box.This way the recognition could be immediate and used during the current
event or whenever the recipient chooses. This approach seems to be working fine
so far. Better than trying to edit a “Free Play” list during an
event.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4. Re David Taylor – I don’t have any idea what his compensation is
and whether it was intended to include loading and unloading the trailer (set up
and tear down). President/Treasurer please tell me if I should put him on
the list.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>5. Student discounts?? Is not this covered by the age related discounts we
already have set up?</DIV>

points all. Would be interested in others' thoughts, comments and
suggestions as well. By no means am I on a mission for free plays for
David, however we should consider the collateral circumstances of his towing the
unit trailer. As I understand, David is paid the amount that in the past
was otherwise spent on a rental vehicle to tow the trailer. When he was a
board member, his physical support to set up and tear down was a logical
extension of his trailer towing. Now that he is no longer a board member,
his physical labor in support of set up and tear down is a donation of service
to the unit. The possibility of giving him free plays for this service
would be in consonance with Eric's comments about free plays for help with set
up and tear down -- something the board has discussed many times over the years
but has never formally enacted.

<DIV text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">I would personally be a fan of
creating a list of a significant contributions and then the free play that
goes with it. It seems like some people get noticed and get free plays and
others might not. One occasion I remember is two years ago there was a call
put out for help with tear down in exchange for free plays. Leah stayed to
help tear down to the end which made her evening go a lot longer and then no
free play ever materialized.<BR><BR>Maybe something like the
following:<BR><BR>Bringing homemade baked goods (significant amount): 1 free
play<BR>Helping with set up from start to finish: 1 free play<BR>Helping
with tear down from start to finish: 1 free play<BR>Being a designated
helper for hospitality, including refilling the water, grabbing ice/soda,
and whatever else hospitality needs: 1 free play<BR><BR>I don't know enough
about what David does vs how he is financially compensated to offer an
opinion on him<BR><BR>I'm a big fan of the set up/tear down stuff because it
can relieve pressures on the board. Many responsibilities of the board like
all the stuff I do for the unit games/round robin/etc can generally be done
at a time that's somewhat convenient. In comparison, we NEED people to stay
and when people are tired or have other things going on then it can be a
duty that is at a time where we're tired and have other things we should be
doing and might also result in spouses having to stay etc. There have been
times when it is clear the people who volunteered to stay really didn't want
to and either they left and put a burden on everyone else or they stayed and
were exhausted and clearly didn't want to be there.<BR><BR>We obviously
don't want to hand out free plays like candy or it will make our financials
bad, but I think judicious use can help alleviate specific pain points. Most
of these duties should remain with board members, just seemed like something
to consider.<BR><BR>Eric<BR><BR><SPAN>Ann Romeo wrote:</SPAN><BR>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In response to Larry's note below, thoughts on the extra $1 for
grass roots for free plays:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I recall, what we have settled on in the past is that non board
members who receive free plays (in this case Sharon Erwin and David
Wright) are not charged the additional $1 for grass roots. For
board members, the additional $1 for grass roots is voluntary.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A question for all: perhaps we should consider the
possibility of free plays for others who perform services for the
unit? David Taylor comes to mind. He is compensated for
towing the trailer, however he does other things such as lining up
Bridgemates and supporting resolution of questions related to task
tracker and insurance. Perhaps there are "regulars" who make and
donate homemade items for hospitality?</DIV>
