I like you ClayDol, voted for you, and would vote for you again. I know you're a good rep and I trust that you did at least an above average job at the meetings, but tbh, your report pretty much blows. Personally, I would rather have the long version than this here short one.
There's just a very low amount of information given in the report, most of which is already common knowledge among the players...

A monetary deposit bonus for example doesn't meet this criteria, although it was certainly acknowledged that many recreational players also like/appreciate monetary rewards.
I do appreciate, and agree 100%, with this part...

But anyways, thanks for going, the time and work is much appreciated. Any chance on you running again for the April meeting?

How long ago did you suggest the ratholing solution to Stars?
