Sticker for Membership Renewal. Bill Chang brought up the subject of using colored and dated stickers instead of new membership cards to place on present membership cards.

Bill Cooper made the motion to use stickers for next years’ membership and Shelley seconded it. Six out of seven board members approved the vote.

Daily Play Collection, Protocol, and Waivers Discussion. An incident regarding a wheel chair bound table tennis player who was not a member and was it right to collect daily play money from this person needed clarification.

Mark will talk with Stellan and other people with Scott to bring ideas to the club about a club shirt. James knows some people who might be able to help the club with shirts at a good price.
