Week Eight

Dear Members,

Elections & Board of Governors: There are currently four (4) open slots on our Board of Governors. Elections were open for five weeks, consistent with our bylaws and we received the following nominations:

Cliff Giles, Jr.
Matt Reilly
Saeromi Kim
Timmie Winebrenner

Because there are equal numbers of nominees to open slots, your Board of Governors discussed and made a decision that it would forego the balloting process and accept the slate as proposed. The aforementioned persons will begin their service next Season which will take effect after the WCC tournament. Congratulations to Cliff, Matt, Saeromi and Timmie.

This past Sunday we had a nice gathering for our Lucky Draw Tournament at Eagle LA. There were13 in attendance but the competition was very stiff. The top four finishers were:

1st. Jon Bourgault
2nd. Jeffrey Hersh
3rd. Rick Ayres
4th. Cliff Giles

Thanks to all that came out.

Pool Instruction Session: (This is a Free Session to LAPL Members). The LAPL Pool Instruction Session is scheduled on May 17, 2015 beginning at 10:30 a.m. just before the Last Chance Qualifier. This Instruction Session will be especially tailored for new players or players who have not yet qualified to play in a West Coast Challenge. Rick Ayres has agreed to assist as one of the instructors and we want to thank him for setting this time aside for our league's players. The session's goals will be to work with small groups on both tables to provide instruction on basic techniques as well as playing strategy. We ask our Captains to alert their players that might be interested and those that are planning to participate in the Last Chance Qualifier. We would like to especially reach out to our new players in the LAPL. If you are interested in participating, please make a note of the date. You can also email your information to us.

Thank you,

Al Ballesteros, President
LAPL
