(Letters to the Editor, Continued from page 204)
Master, and probably won't be one until I am 90 - another 30+ years. Am I to be considered an Intermediate/Novice all that time?
Just a thought. The newsletter is still thoughtfully prepared. Best wishes…
In response:
District 13 has chosen to define "Intermediate/Novice" as anyone with less than 300 masterpoints who resides in one of our three Units: Chicago (CCBA), Milwaukee, or Wisconsin-Upper Michigan (WUMBA), for the purpose of receiving this newsletter. We solicit and receive a disk from Memphis with the names and addresses of those who qualify twice a year when the publication goes to press. Whoever is on that list receives the newsletter and receives it free of charge. It is intended as a "bonus" gift from the District to stimulate interest and offer free "lessons" or "tips" to improve everyone's game. In addition, it offers novice schedules for tournaments in the area to promote attendance and activity among less-experienced (not necessarily new) players. It also includes results from area newcomer events.
In addition to being mailed to "under 300's or non-life masters," we bring the overruns to local tournaments and distribute them there. We have received highly favorable comments and thanks for our efforts from members with both over and under 300 points who have picked up their copy of the newsletter at the tournaments.
We hope that no one has taken offense at receiving this newsletter. That would be contrary to our purpose and render our enormous efforts and expense in bringing it to you unnecessary. I hope this clarifies the situation and you will accept our "gift." in the spirit with which it is intended.
Suzi Subeck, Editor
