Old News:

4) As of this meeting, the Linda Vista club had not picked up the table it requested to purchase.

5) Dennis Suisen explains in detail his reasoning to allow Jean Shi to run for election in this current election. This involved a more intricate interpretation of membership to be paid by Jan.1-31 of the year of the election. This would constitute a full membership for the year in question. Behnam mentions that this is contrary to past elections wherein the player was required to be a paid member for one year prior to the election. There is spirited discussion about the positives and negatives about allowing Jean to run this year and after a 5-2 vote in favor, the board chose to change the eligibility to Jan 1-31 of the year of election.

6) A new policy for paying dues nearing the end of the fiscal year is as follows (all fees paid allow membership to Dec. 31):

$20 November

$15 December

Full year membership remains the same at $50
