Meeting minutes from the April 3, 2019 board meeting
Treasurer’s Report - The Club brought in $2,465.00 and spent $4,823.19 in March. Current membership is 674.
In-House Tournament - We had two hundred nineteen (219) registrants, one hundred eighteen (118) people participated in the blind draw.
Purchase recommendations for the 2020 tournament were suggested.
Since the blind draw is growing, he suggested that we may want to consider eliminating singles since registrations for that event are low.
Approximately $3,000 was spent on food which was more than what we had spent on the whole tournament in the past. It was decided that next year the bar would be eliminated and people will need to bring their own alcoholic beverages.
Vice-President/Programming Report - Brock Taylor is working with Hold My Court and Calvin Nixon has agreed to help with TrackIt Hub. He is working to find coordinators for summer programs.
President’s Report - Craig shared that he will send out a letter to the membership introducing himself. 600 Franklin balls which will be purchased for summer use. Onix balls can be used with the ball machine.

- With summer season approaching snakes seek shelter in our bushes. The Board agreed to purchase poles for retrieving balls.
