It is with sadness we announce that this morning (Feb 3/08) Len Anderson (husband of lifetime member Fran Anderson) passed away. Len was a member of the MDAI for many years and contributed much to our association. He volunteered many thankless hours for the betterment of our Sport. He held positions at both the zone level as well as on the Board of Directors. We offer our condolences to the family.

On behalf of the Board of Directors as well as the Membership we would
like to take this opportunity to thank Angie Wark for all the work she has
done as Publicity Director for the past few years.
We have watched as this quiet woman followed in her mother's footsteps and decided to join our association as a player. She not only obviously enjoyed the sport but she showed a drive and passion for the game to become successful at it as well. After a few years of playing Angie chose to give back as well, and we were lucky enough to add her to our Board of Directors. She was a terrific addition to the Board because she was not afraid to express any concerns or ideas that would benefit the players. She re-vamped our website as well as our newsletter to make it what it is today but also built and maintained a database where members of our association were kept up to date on relevant news. Words cannot express how grateful we are for everything you have given but we can say Thank You Angie, for everything you have given. Cheers!!
Summer is over and we are well under way into what could prove to be one of the greatest years of darts that members
of Manitoba have had in quite a while.
The season started at the beginning of September with an All Day Board Meeting, where members of the Board of Directors get together to discuss ideas, review past performances, and make changes for the upcoming year that will help all our members. This day was no exception. There were many ideas brought forward and several changes that will help you as we start this exciting year!! These ideas were presented to the General Membership at the Semi-Annual General Meeting called at the Golden Boy. Manitoba has not held this meeting in quite some time. The ideas were presented, discussed, and received on a positive note by the membership. We think that the results are progressive and probably should have been implemented years ago. To highlight the top three changes: #1 There is now a Buy-In Opportunity for all members in Manitoba to participate at the Provincials#2 Provincial Ranking list now has an incentive that will benefit more players within the Province #3 Membership deadline has now been extended to February 28th for anyone wishing to participate at the Provincials. Are you aware that it is ONLY NINE MONTHS till Manitoba hosts the top darting event in Canada? This is a chance for Manitoba to show we have the players to compete as well as the committee and volunteers to put on a good show. We have the players and volunteers - all we need is the sponsorship to make these Nationals a memorable one for all. We are looking for assistance in gathering sponsorship by ALL members. If you have access to or know of a company or individual that may be interested in helping to sponsor this event contact any board member and we will more than gladly help you out, with either letters of request, or information. I would like to wish everyone good luck this season, and look forward to this great year of darts for the members of Manitoba!!!
