Club Managers's News Letter
July 1, 2003

Although not officially a "Club Manager's Newsletter" this letter to Shirley from the club department contains information that might be of value to club managers and owners.  Some parts of the letter have been deleated or edited.

Greetings from the ACBL as we move into the second half of 2003. This letter contains important news about ACBL programs of interest to your units and clubs.... Please pass the information along as appropriate. Also note that your quarterly unit reimbursement check will be mailed to your Unit Treasurer later this month.

You will be pleased to learn that the popular Club Directors Update Course will be offered to Regional Tournaments free of charge in 2004. The course was developed by Associate National Tournament Director Guillermo Poplawsky to bring experienced club directors up to date on recent changes and includes an informative and entertaining PowerPoint presentation. The content includes current ACBL procedures and policies, the Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge, and the effective use of ACBLscore. Those who complete the course receive a certificate and are profiled as having Club Director Update Continuing Education. For more information about having a Club Directors Update Course at your Regionals, please contact Joyce Stone at joyce.stone@acbl.org.

The ACBL also offers the free Unit Growth Seminar, where an ACBL representative works with unit and club officials on ideas for growth and increased participation at the local level. For more information on bringing this program to your area, contact the Education Department at education@acbl.org.

Finally, we have heard from a number of members who are listed as Intermediate Coordinators (IN) or Education Liaisons but no longer hold these positions. It is important for your own promotional efforts that we have the correct contacts in our database. Please take a moment to go to acbl.org, click on governance, then unit/district information pages. Notify
us of any changes by sending a message to Patsy Edwards at patsy.edwards@acbl.org.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need further information. I will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

Carol Robertson
