New News

It is discussed that more needs to be done to bring the website and sections associated with it up to date and as informative as possible. This includes online payment options which were previously agreed upon to be proportioned based on when during the year a person joins. This as of this meeting has not been posted on the website and needs to be addressed.

It is agreed to that Daryl Sterling, the website manager, should be acknowledged with a gift of $500 from the SDTTA as a show of thanks for his unending help. Also, the same gift is to be given to Maurizio Bassi for his vast amount of work in getting our online reservation system working. All members present agree with a vote of 4-0.

Phil Van De Wiele will put together a list of things needed to update the website and present it to Darryl Sterling for attention.

Talk of the reservation system entails by Maurizio Bassi about the reservation system including growing pains and current status. All agree that it seems to be working well and Dennis Seisun suggests incorporating the system full time. Perry Schwartzberg suggests using it for only a portion of the tables allowing the others to be used for walk-ins. All agree that 1/2 of the tables should be used for reservations even after the restrictions are lifted.

Meeting closes at 7:45.
