One of our previous members of the SDTTA board, Sungil, addressed our board to give us encouragement and show support for us as board members.

Treasurer’s Report: Bill Chang passed out the Treasurer’s Report that has reconciled us through February 2010. Bill Chang wanted to know how often the SDTTA was paying for hours to BPAC. No one knew the answer. Mark is going to find out for us. Bill Chang wanted to know if the Stellans were paid for their coaching the juniors so far. If not, then they will be paid tonight.

Action Items:- The winner’s names of our SDTTA tournament have been put on the plaque which can be seen on the SDTTA board at the Balboa Park Activity Center.
- Update on Pro Pay Electronic Device to process memberships was reviewed. To operate, press the button on top of device and the light will turn green. Then, with a credit card strip facing left pass it through the machine. When the device blinks twice the card is read. Inside our cabinet we can find the form to fill the information for Mark to input the data. The cost for pro pay is $110/year, a charge of.035%/gross transaction plus a .35 fee is added.
- A discussion followed with Bill Chang suggesting that next year that everyone does it online. To have a timely sign up by members, it was suggested as an incentive would be a lottery with the winner getting a free membership.
- Changes needed for League Play. Mark discussed with Misha about not charging for League Play. The all of the board agreed that participants need to commit to the team and come every time or make the time up. One incentive is to return the $20 fee if a player completes league night 100% which includes the player to make up if ill. James made the motion to return fee and Bill Cooper seconded it. Due to BPAC being closed, league play has been changed to April 30. Mark made the motion to have league play starting April 30 and it was seconded.
- Tournaments: The NATTA has moved their tournament to another place. The BPAC still has the dates April 24 and 25 reserved for a table tennis tournament under SDTTA. We will be charged for those days so a decision needs to be made quickly if we want to host a tournament. Bill Cooper is going to look into the matter to see what and who can help with a tournament.
- Membership Renewal Report: Daryl needs to input a few more members to complete the report. Mark said that he was available to input new member data when necessary.
