New Business:

 

Discussion was held on the 2010 Unit Game Schedule.  ACBL allows a Unit to hold 24 Unit games per year.  The Unit will hold eleven of these games. The individual clubs may offer the remaining 13.  Clubs may hold a Unit game during any regularly scheduled game.  Club owners must contact Paul to schedule and sanction these games.  Once the schedule has been finalized, it will be posted on the website.
