The 42nd St. Joseph Valley Open is history by a month already!! I would like to personally thank everybody that
attended this years tournament and I hope that you enjoyed it. I would like to apologize to those who attended on
Saturday for the problems we had with the house sound system but luckily our staff members with strong lungs
managed to get us through until the system was up and running. With that exception I think everybody will agree
that the Student Activities Center at IUSB was a great site.
It is always our goal, every year, to run a players tournament. We strive to provide the smoothest, most efficient,
on time tournament that we possibly can. Please feel free to give us feedback so that we know if we are achieving
our goals. Our next tournament will be the 3rd Annual Highland Open which is tentatively planned for November
18th & 19th. Mark your calendars and hope to see you there.
Again, a big thanks to all the players who support our tournaments, those who support our junior program financially,
the tournament staff and club volunteers who helped in any way to make this tournament a success.
Yours for the sport,
Philip Schmucker
President SBTTC
