Tonight marked @BKIn118’s last court Club meeting as president. What a job he’s done. This was my first year as a member and the meetings alone were worth every penny.
Thank you, BKin118

No. Nor sure when an election will be. Also doesn't sound like anyone has thrown his/her hat in the ring yet.
Not a member of the Court Club (distance being something of a limiting factor), but from just following the board I can tell that BK did an amazing job running the Court Club.
Good on ya, mate.
Good on ya, mate.
Brian has done wonders with the Court Club. Every meeting was pure joy.Best of luck to him.
Living three thousand miles away prevented me from joining, but I can assure you I would have been there if I still lived in NJ. I never met Brian, but he has always been a major presence on the BB board as well as a major fan who literally follows the team not just to the RAC but on all of their away games. Brian, I salute you and your commitment to running the Court Club all these years. Major kudos and congrats.
Per Brian there will be a meeting of the Court Club June/July where the next president will be elected.Some members have expressed interest in the position.
Said it before on here but when it finally happens here and the opportunity comes, @BKIn118 and his wife better get at least the offer to snip a net.
BK and Janet are the best. We all appreciate their efforts and Rutgers is so lucky to have them vested in the program.
Guys...
Thank you for the kindness. I'll post some photos on the Court Club's Facebook page later today. Getting a standing ovation from a 100 people on Thursday wasn't something I expected, and was quite a humbling experience that I still haven't appropriately been able to process. The last month has been a personal whirlwind...from setting up meetings, organizing for the change in leadership, planning the auction, handling the senior basketball awards, wrangling Tournament tickets...oh , and starting a new job after 30 years with 1 company!
As for the election of a new President, that will be handled at a TBD summer gathering, where the candidates will address the group. The plan is to have all seeking office prepare a brief bio, that will be sent to all current members of the Club prior to the election meeting. We currently have 3 serious candidates.
I am not seeking election to any official "office", but will act as a liaison to all parties as we hit the reset button. We aren't going anywhere, but the daily grind of handling virtually EVERY detail of the Club's day to day won't be possible or feasible given my new work setting.
JK and I loved our time with the Club, and we are still here for our members and the program thru September, but life changes eventually, and we are just at a place where new challenges are needed. Our hearts are deeply invested in Rutgers Basketball, and we don't anticipate that will change anytime soon!
