1) Meetings twice a month (on the second and fourth Sundays of each month), unless we have another club activity scheduled for that month (in which case, we will just meet the second Sunday).

3) Sponsorship of a 6th grade Scrabble team (at Mike Moses) – assuming we can get permission.
4) Two touraments (one in Houston) and the national tournament in Dallas.
