reported on the March 12th Two- Man Tournament at Deerwood. There are
currently 40 teams with a cut off at 52.
Each tournament chairman reported on his upcoming event with the
general plea for volunteer
assistance. If you can assist, see the tournament chairman. Check the
JAGA web site for information and/or applications to JAGA sponsored
Championships. Please note: Individuals from a Club that is not
Handicapped Certified will not be permitted to play in a JAGA
tournament. Tournament Directors
should watch this as well as check handicaps of players in Net events.

Scholarship Chairman, Tom Tierney, submitted
a 2006 JAGA Scholarship Trust
Contributions Report. Total Income for 2006 was $80,897.49. 2006
Expenditures amounted to $32,790. A copy of this report will
appear on the Web site in an appropriate area under Scholarships.
Executive Secretary, William "Bill" Black
addressed the Directors. "I've
had many, many good years on this earth and with JAGA. This last year
and a half however, has been
extremely difficult". A rotor root, CT scan, PT Scan,
operations, 38 radiation treatments and "new" medications have
led Bill to
the conclusion to stop it all. "I am going to play out the hand that I was dealt. No BS, it is fast moving, maybe six months. I'm now relying on the Man Upstairs. God bless all of you and God bless America." Following Bills comments, time allowed no less that seventeen directors to express their thanks and appreciation, to Bill, for his: Patience, Encouragement, Mentoring, Consideration, Dependability, Reliability, Goodness, Teaching, Partnership, Assistance, Kindness, Thoughtfulness and Persistence. Yes it was BILL BLACK DAY and may "the rub of the green" allow many more.
OLD BUSINESS: (1) Earl Kelly reported on his
review of By-Laws and Constitution. Amendments were offered to both the

Together for March 6th , 10AM, at Brentwood.

Pairings Coordinator, Ed Tormollen, announced
that an excessive number of
absentees are making pairing assignments unnecessarily difficult ( in
addition to a cost loss factor
). Today 60 individuals were signed up, 51 showed. If you
have to cancel for some reason, contact Ed by 6PM on Sunday
evening prior to the meeting. If
that is not possible, at least let Ed know sometime before the
