THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS
FROM THE TOURNAMENT CHAIRS, JAN LOFTIN (Unit 184) AND LESLIE “COOKIE” HOBERMAN (Unit 241)
Cookie and Jan know this tournament could not be what it is without the help of a LOT of volunteers. Volunteers from Units 184 and 241 have worked tirelessly before and during the tournament to make it what it is. The ACBL president said if we had to pay someone to run the tournament without volunteers it would cost over $80,000. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED!!
