Congratulations to Kathy Stroh, Bruce Reiff, and John Pack who have been elected to the BPA Board of Directors for three-year terms commencing now. More details on the election and the new Board members is posted on our site at http://www.boardgamers.org/board/boardpag.htm. This election completes the process of replacing the Incorporator's original appointees with duly elected members. The Patrons list at the website has also been updated to add those members of Charter level or higher who renewed after this year's program was printed. Since the printed list is always obsolete before the ink dries due to late memberships, we will be publishing the patron list of the previous year henceforth to generate a more complete listing. If you think you should be on the list, please take a moment to review it at http://www.boardgamers.org/bpamembs.htm and notify us of any errors or omissions. PBeM WAR AT SEA ENDS SECOND TOURNAMENT: Ed Menzel has won the second BPA War At Sea PBeM Tournament. Ed defeated a field of 39 players in single elimination competition.

The third BPA War AtSea PBeM tournament will be organized shortly, with October 1st being the targeted start date.
