If you consider ratings given out and support for the American Red Cross, the Schoolcraft Open Tournament on Sept. 22 was a great success.
If you consider efficiency, afraid we fell short there. Due to a communication problem on who was supposed to be running the tourney, no one was really in charge, but those who stepped in did a great job on holding things together. Thanks to Mary & Greg Gibbs, Amy and Patrick Webster, Virginia Stirnweis, Doug McLaren and any others who helped out.
Thanks to our directors: Jim Vesper, Matt Dossman, Maestro Shapiro, and some directing by Mike Cho and the "Epee guys". If I missed anyone, apologies, and let me know!
The money raised was $2,036.00. After $230 taken out for expenses .... we had $1,806.00 to send to the American Red Cross! Mich Div. and Schoolcraft donated their profits, and we thank all the fencers who donated to this cause.
Tornament started with a moment of silence and the singing of "God Bless America". Starting times ran 30 minutes late, and we thank the Epee folks for hanging in til their start time, over an hour late. Our next Schoolcraft Tourney on December 8th will be run more effieciently -- please join us again -- it was wonderful to have so many fencers!
