I appreciate the opportunity to once again serve as Unit 142 President. I particularly would like to focus on the following:

1. Education: Introduce new players to this exciting game. Provide lessons so they can learn and participate in local club games.
2. Events: Do everything we can to run unit events that are enjoyable for all members. Focus on games that beginners and intermediate players can participate in.
3. Clubs: Support club managers and help them augment more participation at their local games.

I am excited to work with the current unit board but ask for input and participation of all Unit 142 members. Please email me at rjtfranck@gmail.com with suggestions and volunteer opportunities.
