Because of his dedication to the teaching, coaching, and encouragement of our children in chess for the past 7 years, Randy Bubolz has been named New Berlin Citizen of the Year for 2010 by the New Berlin Mayor’s office. Over the course of more than 800 sessions, Randy has mentored more than 1200 students to learn and excel in Chess!

Randy states "Motivated and considerate parents and students from Glen Park, Orchard Lane, Elmwood, Reagan, Poplar Creek, and now a number of other schools are the keys to my success with chess. I merely opened a door for the students to show them they can have fun and be successful not only at their school, but regionally and nationally. The efforts of the whole community sparkle in every trophy and medal. Without the commitment of many, many people, I would be hearing my chess lessons echo in empty rooms."

Randy will be given the award Tuesday, May 11 at the New Berlin City Council meeting. Congratulations Randy!

2009 WCA President's Report

Annual Membership Meeting
Ramada Conference Center, Milwaukee
September 6, 2009

The WCA had a quiet year. Tournament attendance after a couple of growth years, showed some signs of decline. This might be due to the national economic conditions we are in. Our treasury is strong. New organizers and tournament directors continue to emerge but there is continued need for more of them and for mentoring them. If you are one of these new organizers or TD’s, just ask to assist at an event run by a more senior organizer or TD and they’ll be happy to show you the ropes.

The USCF lost $110,000 last fiscal year. This even with two bequests given to the USCF totaling around $400,000. So, as you can see, without the bequests, USCF would have had a huge loss. They did pay down the mortgage on the building by $100,000 but the rest of the bequest money was used to defend the Federation in six lawsuits. Four are related to the 2007 Executive Board election while another was dismissed and the sixth is with their former book and equipment vendor. For a full understanding of the lawsuits that are draining USCF resources please read Executive Director Bill Hall’s explanation on the USCF website and updated occasionally in Chess Life but basically the four related suits deal with the alleged actions of two winning candidates, Susan Polgar and Paul Truong and how they posted fake forum postings and arranged to break into USCF Secretary Randy Hough’s personal e-mail.
