Folks,

Casting Call!!

We are invited to present a little play at the Cherry Blossom Festival. This an Idea I came up with a year or so ago, and after much discussion, the Cherry Blossom organizers agreed it would be nice to do it.

It will be a re-enactment of the critical moments of the "atomic bomb game" - the one we had on the side of the building on 45th, which was interrupted by the Hiroshima bomb. It will be short, I think maybe 15 minutes and will cover the time just before and after the event. I attach a copy of my draft of a script.

We will need people to produce, direct, get set materials, and special effects etc. and to make them all happen on stage, as well  as actors.

email me at chrisk.aga@comcast.net if interested in participating in any way.

[Seattle Go Center] Re: Seattle Go Center -- PLEASE HELP Funding

11:41 AM |

We want to thank everyone again (hopefully I sent individual mail to you all 😊)for stepping up and helping SGC with donations and memberships, especially to the people who don't often come to or never come to SGC.  We all appreciate your contributions to Go in the Seattle area because that helps SGC and the various events and meetups we support that reach more people.

We got all the memberships we hoped for except two, but two folks bought lifetime memberships which helped a lot.  Thank you very much!!

Cheers,
Bill

We were remiss in the fall and did not do our usual fund-raising request of folks.  SGC is short about $4,000 in 2025.  We really hope people are able to renew annual memberships or make donations at this time and hopefully make up the difference so that we do not operate with a deficit.  Two members renewed in DEC, so thank you!!

We had ~15 fewer annual memberships in 2025 (16 would equal the $4k deficit).  This is one of the best ways to help SGC financially because it demonstrates public support to maintain our 501c3 Public Charity status as well as giving you the feel-good benefits of being a voting member, knowing all your visits are fully paid for, and good karma for helping sustain SGC for all folks.  If $250 is too much, any donation amount at all adds up and helps us demonstrate public support to the IRS.

We also had half as many 10-punch visit card sales in 2025.  We do not police the door and who pays or who does not, but if you are making use of SGC, please pay the door fee  if you're not an annual or lifetime member because the door fee is also good money for demonstrating public support for our 501c3 Public Charity status.

If you can help SGC by buying an annual membership, making a donation, or buying 10-punch visit cards when you visit SGC, please help us recoup the $4,000 shortfall from 2025.

Thank you!!
Bill Chiles

[Seattle Go Center] Annual Members Meeting -- 21 MAR

8:51 PM |

We will hold our annual members meeting on 21 MAR, Saturday 2:00-3:00pm, at SGC.  We will review programs and events in 2025 and share financial info.  We will also vote on a slate of three directors who will serve a three-year term.  Each year, three of the nine directors' terms expire.

We need 13 voting members (annual or lifetime) as a quorum.  If you cannot make the meeting, you can email manager@seattlego.org to register a proxy for yourself (notification goes to the secretary for recording).  We appreciate your naming proxies to ensure we have quorum for the meeting.

This year, we are grateful that Leslie Crawford, Zhihong Yao, and YT Bill Chiles (all have served for multiple terms) volunteered to be directors again, and they will be on the slate of candidates.  These candidates are currently, VP, Treasurer, and President, respectively, but the board decides each year which directors serve in which roles.

Members can nominate other candidates if seven or more members nominate someone prior to 11 MAR.  This gives the board time to approve the candidates and possibly to work with folks to have a slate of only three candidates for much simpler voting at the meeting.  If seven voting members want to nominate a candidate, please send mail to manager@seattlego.org prior to 11 MAR.

Cheers,
Bill
