November Board Update

Dear Members of the Indianapolis Bridge Center (IBC):
 
First, thank you to everyone who attended our Annual Meeting! We hope all attendees felt represented and that their voices were heard.
  
Our Annual Election results saw 2 Board Members, Larry Cohen and Joyce Pepple, re-elected to 3-year terms. You also elected Melissa Conrad to her 1st  3-year term on the Board.
  
As was noted at our Annual Meeting, December will mark the departure of former President Andie Marshall from the Board. There is no way to adequately describe all that Andie has done for IBC, but both Management and Leadership will always be grateful for all the work that she has done, and her legacy will echo in our club for many years.
 
That Time of Year:
 
The IBC Board would like to remind everyone that we are now accepting Membership dues for 2026. The ability to reach our budget goals depends on continuing to have a strong membership base. Please renew your commitment to IBC at your earliest convenience.
 
On that note, the 2026 Budget will be finalized at the December Board meeting. Once the Board has approved the Budget, it will be posted on our bulletin board in the hallway.
 
Monthly Recognition:
 
Our Player of the Month (POM) is Bev Brown, and our Novice of the Month (NOM) is   
Mary Holwick.
 
Congratulations to them both!
 
Looking Ahead:
 
We have an exciting lineup of events coming up, including the rest of the month!
