Why I ask? I'd like to get a very rough handout available at the upcoming I/N sectional. (JC, we'll talk after things are sorted out).</li><li class="">If we ran the NLM regional, the events we are considering will be NLM pairs on Friday, NLM pairs on Saturday and two events for NLM on Sunday: a single session pairs game and a two session NLM Swiss. (Note that the single session pairs on Sunday is extremely popular at our NLM sectionals).</li><li class="">Regarding directors, Jeff Jacob will have experience running a NLM regional concurrent with a sectional (he's doing this in the Spring 2019 at the Seaside Regional). I've pinged Arleen to see if we can get Jeff assigned to help with our event--should make for a smooth event.</li><li class="">Patti and I want Julie Godefroy brought in to help with this event, and so Julie has been included on this particular email.</li><li class="">Finally, I've asked to be included on the agenda for the Leavenworth D19 meeting and will bring the board up to speed with our thinking about this event. </li></ul></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><div class="">Any thoughts you might have about all this, please let me know!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Personally, I'm getting excited about this event--with a little effort, we will be offering a neat way to get new players excited about tournament bridge. There is lots to be done: setting up speakers, door prizes, advertising at clubs, schools, private games and sectionals...but I'm convinced this is a way to help grow our games and keep newbies engaged.
