3 A belated but big shout out goes to Carol Tompkins for procuring for us the Spinnaker Cove clubhouse, where we played our May Pedro Tournament. Thanks for both your time and your efforts, Carol! Repeated thanks also to ALL the organizers, who worked hard to make it such a success. Announcements Effective May 2018, Gloria Halliday is vacating the following positions: Newsletter Editor, Member Directory Editor, Webmaster, Social Network Administrator (Facebook), Minutes & Bylaws Editor, and Mass Communications. Newsletter is monthly and with the way it is now set up, is mostly a matter of plugging in dates. Directory requires updates through the year as membership changes, and production of the hard copy directory once a year. A printer is required. The website job consists mostly of uploading the latest newsletter, directory, and player lists, and adding in any news or photos submitted by members. The other jobs, including FB, are mostly on demand. These jobs are very easy and not time-consuming, but basic knowledge of Excel and Word is required for the newsletter and directory. Maintaining the website is also easy but some familiarity with computers is necessary. I will provide written instructions for each job, and am willing to teach in person. These jobs are all separate. Being on the Board is a great way to meet new people, have fun, and influence our direction. This is your opportunity to give back to the Club! If anyone is interested in taking over any of these positions, please contact President Dolores Kessler, or doloreskessler@comcast.net, or Gloria at amimamma911@yahoo.com or DUE TO USER ABUSE (DEPOSITING SHARPS, GARBAGE, LOOSE PILLS), THE WHITE MEDICAL DROP BOX AT THE SAN MATEO POLICE STATION IS NOW BLUE AND IS LOCATED JUST INSIDE THE POLICE STATION. Other available locations are as follows: San Mateo Neighborhood Pharmacy, 9 37th Ave., San Mateo Burlingame Police Department, 1111 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame Belmont Police Department, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont Sheriff - Millbrae Police Bureau, 581 Magnolia Ave., Millbrae Redwood City Police Department, 1301 Maple Street, Redwood City Probation Department, County Center, 400 County Center, Redwood City 3

Some of our members already do that and it works out very well. Attention all Bridge Players!
