I want more members to use the club on Friday nights.  We are half filled and could use more people with more energy.  We are open to suggestions as to how to make this night more popular.  Everybody loves Thursday night tournaments.  Let us see how we can make Fridays more active.

Board Meeting

August 21, 2012

Balboa Park Activity Center

This meeting is open to all members of the SDTTA.

Call to order 7:24 pm by Ron.

SDTTA Board Members Present:  Ron Spencer, Borko Dragojlovic, Shelley Hardy, and Frederick Cheung

SDTTA Board Members Absent:  James Kahn, Bill Chang and Shariq Ansari

SDTTA Members Present:  Daryl

The approval of July 2012 minutes was made by Ron and seconded by Frederick.

Communications not on agenda have a limit of 3 minutes.

Action Items:

Frederick brought up an idea of the club starting tier memberships.  This idea was not favored by the majority of the SDTTA board and was tabled.

Frederick explained that our club can use the Square Up system to accept membership dues by using credit cards through the smart phone.  Bill Chang will be in charge of designating board members/financial team who have the smart phones and want to sign up members through this system.

New t-shirts are being looked into.  Juic is a possibility.  Borko presented the cost and availability for each shirt model.  Frederick recommended a possible new logo for SDTTA.  The company, 99 design works with us and our ideas and their artists compete for our own logo.  The cost is $500 which includes logo and digital rights.  A motion was made and passed to go with this company to get a new logo by the board.  The board will discuss what type of logo we would like at the next Board Meeting.

The SDTTA picnic is scheduled for Sept. 15th (it will be rescheduled due to BPAC closed to table tennis).

Webmaster Report/ Daryl Sterling – No report.

Juic Team Report- no report.

Treasurer’s Report.  Bill Chang passed out the Treasurer’s report that is reconciled through July 31, 2012.

Membership Report:  Borko stated that as of today the total membership is 263.

Equipment Report:  There are 30 tables (2 are at a San Diego Senior Center, 28 are at BPAC).  There are 13 blue and 19 green tables.  The club needs new nets especially because of the upcoming USTTA sanctioned tournament we are having in November.  It is believed that the Europa nets hold up better than the Butterfly National League model.  It has been voted on to order one dozen new nets.  We will discuss ordering more at the next Board Meeting for a total of 25.

Tournament Update:

The Neil Smythe Memorial Tournament will be a 2 star sanctioned tournament.

The head referee hired is Mike Myer who just moved to San Diego and he is USTTA certified.

Fund raising was brought and some people to ask if they will donate are Mark Gleicher and Stell/Angie Bengsston.

Kevin Ross and Ali Mahroun have been chosen/volunteered to run and schedule the tournament.

Ron has committed himself to attend the BPAC October meeting to represent SDTTA.

The motion to adjourn was made by Shelley and seconded by Frederick.

The next meeting is September 18, 2012.

Respectfully Submitted,

Shelley Hardy, SDTTA Secretary

Board Meeting

 July 17, 2012

Balboa Park Activity Center Board Room

This meeting is open to all members of the SDTTA.

Call to order 7:00 pm by Ron.

SDTTA Board Members Present:  Ron Spencer,  Borko Dragojlovic, James Kahn, Bill Chang and Shariq Ansari

SDTTA Board Members not present:  Frederick Cheung and Shelley Hardy.

Communications not on the agenda have a limit of 3 minutes.

Action Items:

1. Treasurer’s Report:  Bill Chang passed out the Treasurer’s report which is reconciled through June 30, 2012.  We have collected $12, 700 so far this year.

2. Webmaster Report – Daryl will have the board meeting posted on the calendar the 3rd Tuesday of the month.

3. Equipment/Executive Director’s report:  There are 11 shirts remaining to be sold (6 collarless, 3 collared and 2 others).

4. Membership report:  Prorated yearly fees to $25 will start October 1, 2012.  PayPal needs to be corrected to this time line.  The club will not accept credit cards any more for membership payments.

5. Old Business:

Tournament update:

The Neil Smythe Memorial Table Tennis:  Borko sent out an email that he wrote a check for the Neil Smythe Memorial Table Tennis Tournament for $150 and gave it to James Kahn to send to Mr. Hashimoto for USTTA to get it posed on their calendar (hopefully this week).  SDTTA’s goal is to run the Neil Smythe Tournament successfully.  The SDTTA board will ask Stellan to lend his good name.

6.  New Business:

1. 5 row table rows:  After a lengthy discussion the SDTTA board voted to re-approve and post around the club our rules.  When crowded, a 5th table will first be added to Row 1, 4 and 5.  We will leave rows 2 and 3 at 4 tables unless extreme overcrowding takes place.

2. Mira Mesa Recreational Center participants have called to attention of the SDTTA board that there is a need to replace their broken tables.  SDTTA has in the past helped with providing tables.  The board decided to see if something in future is available for them or if we can give them a discount on a used table.

3. The BPAC Rec Council needs new table tennis members to represent our interests at council meetings.  James is thinking about it.

The motion to adjourn was made by Ron and it was seconded by James.

   

The next meeting is August 21, 2012.

   

Respectfully Submitted,

Shelley Hardy, SDTTA Secretary
