From The President:

To the general members,

          I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support.  Also for your vote of confidence in the next two years.

          I realize that you expect the board to uphold and continue the values of the CSDL.  It isn’t always easy, in fact, it’s impossible to keep each and everyone of you happy with all that we do.

          To continue to put on tournaments, be they benefits, Top of the Rocks, or even the Pikes Peak Open, we need all of you to show up and support these events.

          The last tournament we held (Hank Schimberg Memorial), the board put in over seventeen hours per person to set up, run and tear down the venue.  For the time spent, we generated $338.00 for the Castle West Apartment fire fund.  This is not a good return on the resources we put forth.

          I and the board of directors would like for all of you to support the local events.  For us to continue to put on these events, we need to feel they are as important to you as they are to those of us who put the time and effort into the tournaments.

          Without your time and support, we have nothing.  Please continue to support your local dart league and we will try to provide the best tournament possible.

          The board would like to compile a current list of CSDL members along with their address so we can make a genuine effort to disseminate as much information as possible (i.e. Newsletters, tournament flyer and information)

                                                  Sincerely

                                                  Brian Salladay

From the Vice President

          I would like to thank all the people who helped with the Hank’s tournament and banquet.  Most people don’t know how much it takes to put on these tournaments.  Wyatt and Glenn drive out to my house to get all the boards.  Then drive back in and help put them up.  Most of the time, it is only a few people who help with this.  To keep the tournaments, running on time these people stay most of the time behind the tables and miss out on playing in the tournaments.  One person who is always behind the desk is Bill Hamilton.  I know I need to thank him for this.  And thank, all the other people, who sit behind the tables.  Then when the tournaments are over and everyone is going home.  We still have to tear down the board.  Put the boards in Glenn and Wyatt trucks to haul back out to my place.  This is a lot of time these people put in, and we need to thank you.  I would also like to thank Glenn.  On a very cold Sunday he came out to the house and helped cut the carpet for the boards.

A SPECIAL THANKS FROM ME.

We can always use the help. So if any of you would like to help please do.

Sherrie Nordstrom

Vice President, CSDL
