since January 1st. Updated list will be

·
Communication (Ruth Maki) – There were
some problems with “Sign Up Genius,” which have been resolved. Beginning in May, Newsletter will be issued
as needed, since season is over.
·
Court Management (Jeanne Iannacchino) – Court
cleaning does not seem to happen on a regular basis, so Jeanne will get with
Mike Taylor to see if a schedule can be established (8 courts, twice a week). Talked about purchasing wind sock/hanger for
Courts 15 & 16. Holding off on the
purchase of additional balls, since there is talk of a new, different ball
being considered. Courts 1-4 will be
closed April 27th for the installation of the new shed.
·
Socials (Sandy Veydt) – Social for April
is scheduled for April 19th.
Does not seem to be interest for May Social (no one volunteering to sign
up). It would be nice if different folks
to volunteer who may have ideas for new games to play.
·
Green Valley Sr. Games (David Kikel) – Games
went very well. Received positive
emails; only issue seemed to be parking.
Possibly next year have parking elsewhere and provide shuttle
service. Great opportunity to promote
Quail Creek living; maybe get together with Sales for tours, raffles, prizes,
etc. Additional clean-up is needed
during the games. Dave & Merry Mungo
will coordinate games next year.

tournament with QC where the profits would be split between the 2 clubs. We receive no monies from Senior Games.

shades, balls. Also suggest that
gravel/plants be replaced with other materials to lower the risk of people
being injured as they walk around ramada.

With Karen Morse becoming more involved in
Player Development Coordinator, there is need for Treasurer. Player Development Coordinator will be a Board
position, with voting responsibility.
