The meeting of the Board of Directors was called to order at 10:23 am.
Present were:
| John Mac Gregor | Norman Sklar |
| Patricia Miranda | Florita Firchow |
| Eduardo Piza | Lilia Castelán |
An analysis of the events and the income and expenditures of the "Epson" game was drawn up. A list of all the members of the association was presented. He urged that an effort be made to get the people who are in arrears up to date, distributing the list of people with pending payments among the members of the Board of Directors to speed up this step as well as to make an effort to include players of other clubs. He raised the idea of using the available funds to create teaching projects and to encourage the participation of the players who participate little.
The Association will take care of covering the legal expenses for the sports association registration of the different clubs.
We will request the lawyer, Jaime Weisleder, to act as legal advisor for the Association, requesting that he investigate once and for all the period for which the present Board of Directors was nominated as well as the designation of the Annual Meetings as there is confusion whether they are ordinary or extraordinary, including the General Meeting of September 24th, 2001 which did not specify which type it was.
According to the bylaws, we ought to take out an insurance policy with the I.N.S. that covers the Association's funds as well as have a current account in the Association's name which requires two signatures to withdraw funds. We ask the Treasurer to see to the corresponding procedures to do this. We will coordinate with the CACBF Treasurer to supply playing cards which will apparently be sponsored by Scotiabank, corresponding to some 100 decks to the Association which will divide part of these among the clubs. These cards have a symetrical face.
We will see if we still publish in the Tico Times information about the club and the person whom to call for information about games and other things. He informed us that we will communicate by "e-mail" to the members about the tournament that is going to be held in Canada and will send that information to the club owners.
We will schedule for next month, November, the Charity Game with an exact date to be determined. It was remembered that for the National Open Pairs game we will try to have two sessions on a single day, to be a Saturday or Sunday in the middle of next November.
The President is not going to be present at the August 6th meeting. The Vice President, Patricia Miranda, will preside.
The meeting ended at 11:20 a,m.
