Greetings! I was curious if our college club can use the form you created (perhaps slightly modified) to help determine interest/activities for the upcoming academic year? It would be much appreciated (and of course we will give you proper credit). Thanks!
Though it’s a little expensive, I found a good club managing program. I’ve been using the demo and it’s great for entering information, creating attendance reports, attendance forms, and more.
I welcome your survey response. If you consider the survey worthwhile, I would appreciate you forwarding its link to others or posting it where others can find out about it.
Sincerely,
Chris Roberts
Southern California Chess Federation, Former President
I am hoping that if each respondent passes on the word to those in their address book, we will get a good response. Over 200 responses and counting. Thanks for passing it on
