    Leigh Wells Memorial at EBC on October 16

    Leigh’s family would like to gather and share some time and a few good stories. We are going to do this on Saturday, October 16th. That is the morning of the Unit game. The idea is to gather after the game and have lunch. Because Leigh’s son will be coming from Sacramento that morning, we are going to move the start of the Unit game back by a half-hour to 10:00AM.

    EBC/Unit will provide the lunch. Salad, sandwiches, and Leigh’s famous butternut squash soup.

    So, to be clear. The Unit game will start at 10:00. Following the game, we will all gather, have lunch, and share our best Leigh stories. So, even if you cannot make the Unit game, please plan on attending the lunch and memorial for Leigh which will follow the game at approximately 1:30.

    District 20 Area Representative

    District 20 has something called Area Reps. These are folks who are liaisons between the local Units and the District board. There are several. Our Area Rep is the liaison for Eugene-Springfield, Albany-Corvallis and Salem. This is a two-year term. It rotates amongst the three areas. It is our turn to provide someone if anyone is interested. Dennis is very willing to continue should no one show interest. If you think you might be interested, contact John Wolf or any member of the Board.

    From Laurie Rowe:

    It really is a great position and not a lot of work. 2 board meetings a year usually Seaside and Vancouver regional. There is a little perk that goes with the job as you get $100 yearly from each unit to help with your travel expenses although obviously meetings have been zoom.

    Positive COVID Test Prompts Pause in Face-to-Face Play

    A member of our club has come down with a breakthrough case of COVID-19 after playing at the club on Thursday, September 23. The individual has mild symptoms and is recovering quickly.

    As a result, we are suspending face-to-face play until Tuesday, October 5. The suspended games will be played online on the same schedule.

    Our club has required vaccinations to play face-to-face since we reopened in June, and when the Delta surge began, we instituted a mask requirement as well. So, after lots of discussion with lots of folks, we feel we can re-reopen October 5. Of course, this will change immediately if another player tests positive.

    This is a sobering reminder that this disease is not done with us, even for folks that do everything right.

    Go to our members section for a full discussion of this issue.
