Reopening of Bridge Center, District 21 GNT Tournaments, NLM Sectional

This meeting was called at the request of the Club Owners regarding the reopening of the center.  They believed that reopening on January 31 as previously planned was premature in light of the current COVID situation.  It was agreed that we would continue the closure of our facility until the next regularly scheduled Board of Directors Meeting on February 14, 2022.  David Merenbach to send out an email to our members regarding this continuation of our suspension of F2F play.

It was agreed that we would permit the currently scheduled District 21 GNT Tournaments to held in our facility on February 12-13, 2022 and May 14-15, 2022, as we are not running those tournaments and are simply renting our facility to District 21.

A decision on whether to hold or cancel the scheduled Non-Life Master Sectional Tournament on February 19-20, 2022, will be delayed until our February 14, 2022 Board Meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:45PM.
