Volunteer of the Month
for October is Richard Krueger
 Richard Krueger has volunteered with TUC in just about every way possible, and has improved the experience of most TUC members. You may have played in a league that he has convened. Maybe you've been to a tournament where he was volunteering. Perhaps you've used one of his improvements to Leaguerunner on the web site. Maybe you've read one of his helpful answers on the BBS.
Richard is leaving us soon, and he will be missed. To Richard we say: goodbye, good luck, and thank you for all your hard work!
Each V.O.M. will receive $50 Scally’s Dollars that can be used towards any purchase at Scallywags.
