Messages from Phil:

Phil was offered a full-time position at UPS, he will be working Tuesday evenings and will no longer be able to play darts, therefore per the bylaws he has to step down as president.

Per the bylaws the vice-president fills in as president. April is willing to become president, she asked the league members in attendance if they felt comfortable with her as president since she is relatively new to the league. The response was unanimous that April should be president.
