<DIV>I vote yes. I have played in several games when Jeremy was directing,
and have nothing but good memories of his work. Nice gesture, amount
insignificant and we get a payback.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, are we establishing a precedent? Perhaps we should point out
that we have an expectation of availability when we need him.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Jenni and Matt
are encouraging Jeremy Gulley to become a local tournament director. In
order to reach this position, Jeremy needs to take an ACBL test that costs
$50.00. Jenni points out that when she took this test, her local unit
covered the cost.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">My question to
you: should we cover Jeremy's fees?</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Personally, I
think doing so is an indication of both our support of Jeremy and the idea that
it is in our best interest to have locally-based directors.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I also think
this is good news in general--Jeremy is one of the good guys, with strong
experience with new players, and appears to be fair-minded, disciplined,
hardworking, and extremely supportive of bridge.</DIV>
