Head judges are working on a plan to officially score the competition remotely with assistants on site. 15 teams allowed and the board confirmed sanctioning.

New business:

Leroy Payne – has asked for a $2,500 donation from PNWBA to support the Feed the Troops event at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. It will be used to pay for food and accouterments. The board approved a motion to provide the donation out of our designated charitable funds.

Someone brought up the Grant county 1st annual Chillin’ and Grillin’ event on 9/11 which uses PNWBA Rules verbatim. We need a canned response to incidents such as these. It was suggested that we look into developing a partnership with them rather than threatening legal action.

Motion to adjourn the meeting was passed at 7:10 pm.

The next board meeting will be on June 23, 2021, at 6:30 pm.
