Treasurer’s Report

President John Sterling read the highlights of the Treasury.  Last month the club had a positive cash flow of $850, however the ACBL dues had not been paid.  The Club cash assets crew to $61,743.

House and Grounds Committee Report

The vacuum cleaner was repaired. Discussion was begun and suggested to put on new business for the next meeting to acquire a second vacuum cleaner as a backup.

Head Director’s Report

1. EasyBridge  was down to two tables last week.  June strongly suggests that we keep EB open as long as possible.  But if the situation worsens, we may have to find other solutions. 
2. We currently have 363 paid up members
3. ACBL Score is still not printing in the Windows version.  June has exhausted all “help” from ACBL to no avail.  She will attempt to uninstall and reinstall one more time.  The DOS version is working satisfactorily as a backup.
4. We have over 50 new decks of cards in supply.  Anytime a member comes across a board with old, worn cards, they should ask the director for a replacement deck.
5. June made a suggestion that we order colorful ballpoint pens with the DMBC information on them at 38 cents a piece.  She will use them as “trophies” for winning events and for “thank yous” for volunteers.  The board approved ordering 200 pens.
6. Director coverage is low in June.  Many directors will be covering those on vacation.

President John Sterling suggested and those present approved to cancel the June Board meeting due to vacation absences.  The next meeting will be July 16.

Meeting adjourned 5:30 pm.

Robert Renuart, Acting Secretary
