This month, we bring you not one, but two Tournaments Reports! Sigrid Price, our outgoing Tournament Committee Chair, looks back, and our incoming Tournament Committee CoChairs, the dynamic duo of Anne Wilson and Brenda Hatton, look forward. We are grateful to them all for ensuring D21 has great Regional tournaments.
