EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTIONS (click here to view details)

This year marks a significant change in how the LCTL officers are elected. In the past the EC was elected by the new board of directors after the July general meeting. Now the general members will be electing them at the Sep. meeting.

Mike Brown-President, Art Ekern - Secretary and Gary La Fleur-Sgt. At Arms are all running unopposed. The positions of Vice-President and Treasurer are contested. For VP members , they have their choice between Glen Garbers, director of the Moose Lodge & Jim Pickett, Alpine Inn. For Treasurer they can choose between Jim Geary, Track II & Randy Wigdal, Grizzly’s. We are fortunate to have four experienced and qualified people who are willing to “step up” and be willing to serve their friends in our industry. Alot of Leagues in the state are much less fortunate in that they have a very difficult time getting anyone to take an officer position.

Come to the meeting and vote for who you think is the most qualified to serve you.

TLW Instrumental in swipe fee reduction

Sometimes we all have a “what have you done for me lately?” attitude. Well, what the Tavern League has done for us lately
is to play a key role in seeing that exorbitant swipe fees that banks charge have been reduced. Originally they have been over
forty cents per swipe. The good news is that Congress approved lowering them to twelve cents. The bad news is that the Federal
Reserve decided they should be twenty one cents. Even though twelve cents would have been much better, the twenty-one cent rate
is a significant reduction. The Federal Reserve really needs to have its power reduced in half just like the swipe fees.
