CLUBHOUSE:

·         Kay Chrisman reported that the players in the Wednesday evening game feel unsafe once the security guard leaves at 7:00 pm.  Kay passed out her research into hiring our own security guard for the evening games.  The Board was asked to review the research and be prepared at the next meeting to discuss and find solution.

 

SECTIONALS:
