A new director in town

Posted by Brad Mills
Congratulations to Chris Ross, who has passed the NASPA director's test and is now an apprentice director at our club. Chris is now authorized to co-direct Scrabble club and tournament activities under supervision of a mentor. When his mentor feels he is ready to fly solo, NASPA will be notified of such and Chris will become a full-fledged director.

Chris has chosen me as his mentor. I'm very pleased by his effort in getting the test completed so quickly - less than 24 hours from ordering it to passing it - and with only three missed questions. I hope to train him well.

There are quite a few learning opportunities for our padawan over the next few months, including the Mountain State Open, a possible inter-club showdown against Lexington's NASPA Club 637, and the 5th Annual WV Scrabble Tournament (details of which will be announced in the near future - has it been five years already?). And, of course, our regular club meetings - two or three of those each month.

Awesome job, Chris - your club is proud of you.
