The motion was made to approve the SDTTA Board Member minutes for March 2014 by John and seconded by James. The board carried the motion.

Treasurer’s Report:  The report was tabled until the next meeting.

Webmaster Report/ Daryl Sterling: No report.

Membership Report: No report.

Equipment Report: Bob was able to assemble 13 complete set of nets from the 3 boxes of parts that we had laying around.  Our current table count is 29. We found that the Carmel Valley Rec Center had paid for 2 tables but never picked them up, so our actual club count is 27.

Action Items:

1. Peter resigned from the Board. Borko volunteered to be a new Board member. A motion was made by Behnam to have Borko replace Peter as Board member. John seconded the motion and it was passed by the Board. We all would like to welcome Borko as newest Board member.

2. We discussed food for the upcoming Neil Smyth Tournament. The food must be sold in containers and we decided to supply about 60 meals a day. Meals will be supplied by Simon Burgers.

3. We currently tabled the idea of donating a table to the Balboa Park War Museum.

4. We will put on hold the purchase of 5 tables from Andre until Borko can talk to the table manufacturers and see if he can get a better deal than the $800 that Andre has offered us.

5. Borko will talk to Michelle and see how best we can dispose of the old and un-repairable barriers that are starting to pile up in the storage room.

6. It was decided, for continuity and accountability reasons, that James and Bob will be the only 2 members selling the club shirts.

7. We will be looking for volunteers for equipment setup and teardown for the Neil Smyth tournament.

8. The Friendship tournament that was scheduled for April 12th has been postponed due to the floor being waxed.

9. The equipment exchange/upgrade/swapmeet that was set for April 19th also has been cancelled due to the floor being waxed.

10. The Korean Church gathering has now been set for April 26th. We will be reserving 2 rows of tables for them.

The motion to adjourn was made by James and seconded by John at 8:15pm.

The next meeting is May 13th at 7:00pm.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bob Koch, SDTTA Secretary
