Board members not in attendance were David McDougall, Keith Gunn and Sidney Emmer.  A quorum was achieved.  Also in attendance was incoming new board member, Mary Segerman.  Incoming new board member, Glen Okui, participated via phone.

Two Unit 254 board positions have, or are becoming available.  They are the treasurer and the club nanager positions.  Both positions are critical and needed to be filled immediately, precluding a normal search and vote for potential replacements.  Therfore, Mary Seggerman due to her extensive experience and wisdom, has been appointed to replace Keith Gunn as treasurer.  Likewise,  Glenn Okui, due to his experience/expertise  will take over the Club Manager position.

Unit 254 Anual General Meeting (AGM) will be Wednesday, 20 March 2024 at the Bridge Studio, following normal Wednesday bridge play.  Lynn Chambers and Beth Rosener will collaborate to inform members accordingly,  via email. Members who wish to speak will be allotted no more than 5 minutes time.

President Helen is working on a way to recognize/honor member Misha Tomic at the AGM for his Top performance at the 2024 Regional.

Improving Unit 254 Financials are under review in attempts to reduce vulnerabilities and to improve the handling of monies.  Incoming treasurer, Mary Seggerman and Sandy are exploring potential options.

All board members present felt that the recent 2024 Regional, was well done.

An alternative venue to the Hotel Arcada continues to elude us.  Potential sites are not practical, too expensive, not cooperative, etc.

Ian Irving’s bridge classes at his home and Alan Green`s bridge clinics, pre Wednesday bridge play, continue with favorable participation.

Potential electronic air conditioners, air purifiers, etc.  Continue to be explored in order to improve the Bridge  Studio’s environment.

End of month member’s get together is 27 March at LA Frontera. Members need to RSVP Lynn Chambers, Hospitalty Chair, accordingly !

Next Unit 254 board meeting is to be determined.
