| Unit-Wide Game and Tournament Directors Needed |
Unit 533's Board is seeking interest from qualified directors who would like to manage our Unit-Wide Game on November 22, 2019. This manager sets up the files and boards for all participating clubs, runs the game and pays the ACBL fees from his/her club (then submits those fees for reimbursement), and compiles the results. This takes approximately 3-1/2 to 5 hours. This manager is paid $100.
The Board is also seeking director-qualified candidates to serve as the Tournament Manager for our Harvest Sectional on October 25-27, 2019. Time required includes oversight of the event itself and pre- and post- event coordination.
If you are interested in these positions, please contact William Stine no later than June 30th at stinewilliam@gmail.com
