Board Meeting Sept 19, 2005

 

Present: Roger Goettling, Dave Shargel, Jerry Estberg, Rosemary Moorhead, Bob Daugherty, Bill LaRue, Jeff Brown, Laurel Cripe, Bob Ritchie.
 
Saturday Dec. 3 set for annual winter meeting.  Laurel will contact Barb Boston & Thelma Durham to get them to organize place, etc.  The present members wondered if something besides the usual breakfast would attract more attendees.  Main December meeting agenda item will be election of new officers, to take office in May 06, and determing directors of 2006 Saundra Kent tournament.  Laurel will put a general December meeting anouncement on the website.
 
Much discussion of potential 2006-07 board nominations.  More nominations will still be accepted.  The following nominations were made:
President: Laurel Cripe, Vice-President: Bob Ritchie, Treasurer: Veronika Johannesen, Secretary: Becky Lupo (acceptance not confirmed?), Social committee: Norma Smith, co-Scholarships (w/ Fran Burch): Jen Gouge.   
 
General discussion of board duties, etc: Bob Ritchie agreed to spearhead publicity for the club, and Bob Daugherty volunteered to talk with Bob R. and Laurel about marketing ideas. Bob Daugherty wants to make the presidency a paid position.  Some people thought there might be a way for PTC to get money from the community (motel tax?) if we put on events that attracted people to the area.  Bob Ritchie also said he would contact past members who have not paid for 2005.
 
There was discussion of how to attract more players to the club: Bill LaRue suggested doing activities like taking a van down to the Pac 10 Indoor Championships in Seattle in January, or getting a visiting pro to put on a clinic here.  Bill will try to recruit help and follow up on some of these ideas.  He also suggested contacting other successful CTAs and clubs, and getting ideas from them.
 
Roger volunteered to run a ladder in the spring, if there is interest.
 
Recap of tournament finances:  SK netted $1,544.37,  Sequim tourny netted $589.
 
Discussion of lights at PAHS.  Laurel had talked w/ Scott Brodhun, who said if PTC donated $300, the HS would replace all bulbs (not just burnt out ones) on the lower courts.  Roger said he had a lift to use to replace lights, which might lower cost.  Present members agreed to donate money for lights, but thought PTC share should be less if we supplied lift & labor.  Roger will follow up w/ Scott Brodhun.  (UPDATE: Roger has contacted the HS.  It appears the bulbs may cost more than the $300 - Roger will follow up on this.)
 
Agreement to open up Most Improved Player award for male & female to voting by the entire club via email and website.  Prize will be trophy & USTA membership.
 
PS: Jen checked with PC President Keegan 9/20, and says current plan is to keep the college courts and refurbish them when the building construction is complete.
