  • WINTER 2019 ACBL Board NEWS
    WINTER 2019 ACBL Board NEWS A.J. Stephani, District [email protected] ACBL Board Member Notes Honolulu NABC DISTRICT 11 ACBL MEMBERS BY UNIT Many people have asked about my trip to Hawaii for our Fall meetings; I often respond that a conference room in Honolulu looks much the same as a Unit 130 Central Indiana 984 conference room in Omaha. We spend the better part of 4 days sitting in Unit 124 Cincinnati 911 these conference rooms taking part in committee meetings, appeals of Unit 122 Central Ohio 633 Unit 117 Louisville 510 disciplinary hearings (there are 7 of us that serve on last year’s Appeals & Unit 136 Miami Valley 393 Charges Committee, which is a little like the ACBL’s Supreme Court), and Unit 193 Cardinal States 385 getting through the Board agenda. I voted against having our meetings in Unit 164 Bluegrass 341 Honolulu, as we could have done the same thing in Horn Lake (ACBL HQ is Unit 227 West Virginia 130 located there), MS as we did in Honolulu for a lot less money. And it IS convenient to have our meetings at the NABCs – many of us attend ACBL committee and ACBL-affiliated organizational meetings while we’re there. We also try to touch base with our teachers, club managers, patron members, directors, professional players, and other stakeholders within the ACBL. It’s just unfortunate that this particular opportunity, at a time when we can bear few unnecessary costs, was so expensive. As usual, I want to continue focusing on decisions that matter most to our players, but if you’re not interested in a particular item, feel free to skip to the next one.

  • August 2010 Report of ACBL Board of Directors
    August 2010 Report of ACBL Board of Directors Meetings New Orleans NABC, July 2010 So much has befallen upon New Orleans since the last time we were there, I was anxious to see the changes. Since I basically did not get out of the French Quarter, everything looked the same to me, structurally, including potholes in the sidewalks where I drove my scooter. All the well-known fabulous restaurants were still here and many new ones as well. What was missing was people and traffic. The only restaurant line ever was at the Acme Oyster Bar (I understand their oysters are best and reasonably priced). Also, the streets were clean – not littered with trash or garbage. I spent too much time going to meetings and playing bridge to do anything other than eat well and even then I missed some of my favorites. The attendance turned out to be disappointing from the original estimates. Since we were also disappointed by the attendance in Reno, I think this may be a general trend and not indicative of any problems with a specific site. Certainly, it was not known in advance that the bathroom situation on the third floor was a terrible problem (one with 5 working stalls to service a 30,000 square foot ballroom). Add to that the temperature on this same floor was cold, colder and coldest. There were some areas worse than others and I had to wear a tablecloth on at least two different days. The other playing area on the second floor was fine. As for the meetings everything went pretty well.
