COMMENTS FROM THE SEC/TRES

 

             The 2009 membership cards are now available. Current cards expire December 31st. Please renew your dues ASAP.

            At the last executive council meeting the Council voted to use a new handicap chart, made by Byron Jarrett for the team tournament. Since this decision Ron Deckard presented a comparison of the charts to last year’s tournament, showing an advantage to the high percent pitchers. The Council has agreed to using the old chart until Byron can obtain more data.

            Since we no longer have an income from game related items, the Council has voted to increase the state fee from $1.00 to $2.00 per tournament entry, effective June 2009. This should generate approximately $2500.00 offsetting the loss of the GRI. The council reviewed other options such as charging for the news letter and or raising dues.

            The tournament season is now in full swing. The weather is gorgeous and the price of fuel is falling. Get your five qualifying tournaments in now for the state tournament. This year’s host will be Beverly Hills.   

            Roberta and I would like to wish you a safe and Happy Holiday Season.

 

REMEMBER: WE PROMOTE BY OUR ACTIONS ON AND OFF THE COURTS.

REMAIN PROFESIONAL.

COMMENTS BY THE 2ND VICE PRESIDENT

NOVEMBER 2008

 

All the major issues for the FSHPA seem to have been well covered by President Hilpertshauser and other members of the EC.  I encourage everyone to accept and support the necessary changes we have made in the Club Team Tournament and our attempt to meet our obligations by raising the tournament fee.  I remain open for any additional suggestions.

 

Bettie and I sincerely wish everyone a very happy holiday season.

 

                                                                                     Byron Jarrett
