APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

The Minutes of the September 9, 2007 and June 19, 2007 were approved as read

September.

TREASURER REPORT:

Paul Boyd presented a Profit & Loss Previous Year Comparison report for 2007

through September 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006.

Building Fund income was up 15.6% from the same period in 2006. Clubhouse

income was down 4.2% from the same period in 2006

Expenses were up $3,988.86 (12.3%) from the same period in 2006. This is the

continuing effect of the lump sum payment to the landlord for the rent

increase for the Clinton facility, totaling $3,000.

Net Income was down $2,106.98 (11.8%)

Unusual expenses for the month were $675 for lighting.

Moved by Maggie, seconded by Bert to accept the report. Unanimously approved.

SITE SELECTION COMMITTEE:

John Oakshott was appointed chairman of the committee.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE:

1. The Beginning Bridge class ended September 6, 2007. 36 players played

in the final 49er NAP game.

2. Classes will begin on October 9 at 7 pm and October 12 at 9 am. Cost

will be $65 after the second lesson including book, with a discount for those

who have one book.

3. Gloria communicated that she has a franchise for Tuesday night. She

would like us to purchase her game. A letter will be written advising her that

her franchise is not a rental agreement, and since she has not paid any rent in

nearly a year, she has broken the rental agreement.

4. We discussed and explained the $70 compensation for the first two weeks.

The compensation is to provide food and other items since there is no payment

from the students for those weeks.

CLUBHOUSE:

We paid $675 to replace ceiling lights. Also, a new portable phone was donated.

SUNDAY UNIT GAMES

The newsletter did not include the Sunday Pro-Am team game as a Pro-Am game.

It was agreed to hold the game as a Pro-Am team game on October 21, 2007 as

previously decided. We will post banners and send e-mails with the

correction.

SECTIONALS:

Mary Jo Davila is in charge of hospitality for the sectional. It appears

everything is taken care of.

2. The decision was made to hold the Unit Board Christmas party on Sunday

November 18 at Tang’s.
