Thanks to all that were able to join us for the fall annual meeting on 8/26/19.  We had good attendance with many of the proposed items approved including a few additional changes. 

I want to point a few important items:

• Currently have a vacant Treasury position available if you or someone you know if interested

• Mike Turovsky was nominated, accepted, and voted in as our new Vice President

• Both Richie Robertson and DJ Vondruska were re-elected in their current position of Tournament Director & Secretary respectively

• Following league dates noted:

It's important to note that we need all declarations for league participation to be in by Sunday September 15th, 2019.  Along with your league participation please let us know the following to help aid us in schedule creation:
