Attending were Wayne Kopp, Arnie Walker. Mike Kirkby, Ken Krejci, Jack McDonough, Dave Freni, Todd Gillenwater and Jack Gjeldum ( by phone).
Todd Gillenwater has been working with Russ Warren to learn working with PayPal and our web site so we have a back up for Russ. Todd asked the question if a player shows up late for the games -can he/she play. Depending on when they arrive and if they could call and inform us when they will be there, BSS will accommodate getting them to play at least the second game.
