Voting for Unit 178 Board of Directors has just completed. Congratulations to Kerry Holloway, Sue Jackson and Barb Zipoy. Kerry, Sue and Barb will each serve a 4 year term, with duties beginning at the July 7th board meeting.
Special thanks to Judy Hansen, Tom Utter and Cathy Sigafus. This year, the election committee had at least a dozen opportunites for Unit 178 members to vote at different election sites. Judy, Tom and Cathy made it happen!
After eight years of diligent and top notch service, Vicky Smith and Marv Riedesel will be retiring from the board. All Unit 178 members; indeed, all of us in Minnesota who play and love the same, owe Vicky and Marv - and all the others who serve - an enormous "thank you."
Our board members attend meetings, make policy, volunteer, organize, clean up, listen to complaints, solve problems and much more. Bridge in Minnesota would simply not be as exceptional as it is, if not for the fine efforts of these folks.
So, please join me in congratulating our newly elected board members, and in thanking all who serve!
Also - Unit 178 Board minutes posted below.
We had six good candidates and three of them are on the board now! However, we will still need plenty of help to bring off successful and fun tournaments like the recent Gopher regional. Talk to me or one of the Board members about how you can become involved. It is interesting how your bridge results improve when you help run the show. For example, Barb Zipoy (with current board member Linda Brammer)was 1st overall last night (5/30)!

I can't say how impressed I was with the quality of the candidates this year. Any of the six would have made great board members. Kudos to Marv and the rest of the nominating committee on a job well done!
