Mid-season Captains' Meeting
The mid-season captains' meeting will be held this coming Sunday, September 21, at Shenanigans at 5:00 pm.
Remember that if you have a representative at the meeting, and said representative stays for the meeting (no signing in and dashing off!), your team will receive 1 bonus point.
If your team does not have a representative, we will all say bad things about you and your team behind your back at the meeting. It can get quite brutal, so I suggest you send someone to the meeting.
The agenda is pretty open, as we have no big issues. However, we would like to discuss charity options for the end of this season and a new executive committee for next season.
See you at the meeting.
