Thanks to Rich Buschgans for obtaining permission to store club equipment at the
community center and a lock to secure it.

Thanks to Angelo DePalma for finalizing the club's bank account and continuing
to tend to our financial affairs.

Two players joined the Summer Holland on Monday: Aaron Kiedes and Joseph Losito.
Some of us have met Aaron, but I believe Joseph is new.

Both are USCF members with established ratings. They will start play in round
three of the Holland prelims next week, with retroactive half-point byes for
rounds one and two. (Limit two byes in the prelims.)

Welcome aboard, gentlemen. It should be a fun ride.

I will send out the standings spreadsheet tomorrow, once I make peace with
Excel. That does not work for Yahoo group messages anyway, as we saw last week.

Three players have 2/2: Angelo, Tom Ostrosky and Paul Joseph.

VERY TENTATIVE pairings for round three:

Ostrosky---DePalma
Mark---Joseph
Laverty---Wyatt
Schlotzhauer---Buschgans
Walters---Kiedes
Losito---Crawford
Others to be determined

It's still not too late to join the tournament. Spread the word....

Eric Mark,
TD
