Attendees: Brent D. Beal (with daughter, Marin Beal; Stuart Beal spectated).

Misc:
Does anyone have any input on how to advertise the club more effectively or on what our schedule should look like for 2011? I think we should find a quieter location – if anyone has any ideas about where we could meet, please let me know.
Here’s a link to the Cheat Sheet: http://www.cross-tables.com/cs.
Please consider becoming a member of NASPA (North American Scrabble Players Association): http://www.scrabbleplayers.org/w/Membership.
No dues or other club fees until January 2011.
We have 1 custum board and 1 timer available for use. If you have your own equipment, please bring it. I will continue to bring 4 game sets, just in case they’re needed, but they’re cheap sets that aren’t appropriate for competitive play. You can take a look at custom sets (and other equipment) here: http://samtimer.com/ (see the club website for additional links).
Not sure how to better advertise the club. I should be able to make it to the meeting on the 10th, so I’ll try to think of something before then. Have you thought about creating a Facebook fan page? I made one for the yoga studio and it works really well to keep people informed and updated. I could make one for the Scrabble club if you want, or you could make one and I could help get people to join it. Let me know!
Here’s a page I set up a while ago on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=177873170043. I just made you an admin…
Thanks! And I even belong to that group… Sorry… I’m sick today and not thinking straight. I’ll see if I can get more folks to join!
Hope you feel better. I think by the end of the year I’ll be ready to put a little more time into promoting it. I’m starting to look around for a better meeting place – let me know if you have any ideas on that front…
