...In 1973, the Charles River Rugby Football Club, affectionately dubbed "The Rats", was founded by a group of ruggers from Tufts University and Boston Rugby Football Club. In striking green and orange jerseys that quickly became the club’s trademark, the Rats achieved many early successes, including winning thePortland RFC Invitational and advancing to the Annual New England Tournament semi-finals. The Rats continued to attract new players and build on each year’s accomplishments over the next decade, thus solidifying themselves as a fixture in the New England rugby community. In 1980, the Rats earned promotion to New England Division I thanks to a staggering defeat of the renowned Berlin Strollers. The early eighties were busy for the club, as the men concentrated on augmenting club membership via a merger with the Old North Bridge RFC of Concord, MA. Highlights of the eighties include continual success both in New England and in international tournament play. In the fall of 1986, the club defeated Boston 12-9, eliminating them from the playoffs for the first time in 5 years. The Club settled into a restructured Division II in 1992 and proceeded to hold the top seed in that division from 1993 to 1994, running three winning seasons in a row. The club failed to post a winning season again until the fall of 2005 when the men's side, under coach Fergal Hehir, made it to the playoffs. They defeated Rockaway RFC in the first playoff game in the spring of 2006 and lost to Montauk RFC...

...American Warehouse Clubs As of 2010 the nearly $215 billion discount warehouse and wholesale club segment within the North American retailing industry consisted of three major competitors (Thompson, C55-73). These competitors included Costco Wholesale, Sam’s Club which is also a Wal-Mart subsidiary, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. All three of these warehouse clubs also competed with a wide range of other types of retailers such as retailer discounters like Wal-Mart and Dollar General, general merchandise chains like Target and Kohl’s, specialty chains like Office Depot and Staples in office supplies and Best Buy in electronics and DVDs, supermarkets, gas stations, and even internet retailers (Thompson, C55-73). The competitive forces which influence these wholesale businesses are the suppliers, substitute products, buyer, new entrants, and rival firms. The strongest force out of these five competitive forces is rival firms. Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ Wholesales are all competing for equivalent buyers within the North American wholesale club industry and market. BJ while on the smaller scale, does still have competition from both Costco and Sam’s Club, however they have not been as affected by their competition on the East Coast. Unlike BJ Wholesale Costco and Sam’s Club are both international. Even though Costco has a considerable market share they still have pretty stiff competition when it comes to Sam’s Club. The reason being is because both Costco and Sam’s Club are domestic...

In touring a Costco store with the local store manager, Sinegal was very much the person-in-charge. He functioned as producer, director, and knowledgeable critic. He cut to the chase quickly, exhibiting intense attention to detail and pricing, wandering through store aisles firing a barrage of questions at store managers about sales volumes and stock levels of particular items, critiquing merchandising displays or the position of certain products in the stores, commenting on any aspect of store operations that caught his eye, and asking managers to do further research and get back to him with more information whenever he found their answers to his questions less than satisfying. It was readily apparent that Sinegal had tremendous merchandising savvy, that he demanded much of store managers and employees, and that his views about discount retailing set the tone for how the company operated. Knowledgeable observers regarded Jim Sinegal’s merchandising expertise as being on a par with that of the legendary Sam Walton. In 2006, Costco’s sales totaled almost $59 billion at 496 stores in 37 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Japan...

...organized into regional divisions in various parts of the world. What is the mission of the Rotary Leadership Institute? To strengthen Rotary clubs through quality leadership education. It is not an official program of Rotary International and is not under its control. The Institute seeks to have Rotary Clubs in member districts identify those Rotarians who seem to have the potential for future club leadership (not necessarily as club presidents) and, provide those so identified with a quality education in Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. In fact all active Rotarians are encouraged to participate in the training. It is agreed throughout the Rotary world that the success or failure of a Rotary Club primarily depends on the quality of the club’s leadership. The RLI offers Rotary knowledge courses in three sessions which are designed to provide leadership skills while advancing Rotary knowledge and understanding. There are three parts. Part I - “THE ROTARIAN” – focuses on your introduction to the RLI experience. The emphasis is placed on providing an overview of Rotary programs. Part II - THE ROTARY CLUB - builds on Part I, here an analysis is done on each participants Rotary Club and its effectiveness. Part III - THE ROTARY JOURNEY – here we learn about opportunities available to us and our clubs through Rotary International and how to best utilize them. We obtain a better understanding on what it means to be a Rotarian and how you can use your...

...Macro 1. The Sundale Club needs to figure out a way to gain more members so they can keep the club open. The club needs to analyze the situation they are in and make some big decisions in regards to change that will help them gain a good reputation. 2. Sundale Club needs to have a meeting with the human resources department. At this meeting the owners need to address the lack of involvement that the human resources department is having when hiring and training the staff. B. Micro 1. It seems that communication is one of the biggest issues that Sundale is currently dealing with. There is a lack of communication between the staff and the managers, which is causing problems with the overall structure of the club. 2. It seems as if the current staff is discouraged and unhappy due to Mr. Johnson’s actions. 3. Many members of the organization are afraid to speak up because they fear they will lose their jobs. Favoritism was used when Pat Franklin was over looked for a promotion that was then given to Mr. Johnson because of the personal relationship between him and Ted Ellis. II. Causes 1. No recognition for the Sundale Club staff and the fact that Pat was over looked for a promotion. 2. The personal relationship between Chuck Johnson and ted Ellis withdraw from goals that the organization had set in place. 3.

...Business Law I 3/31/2011 Reiser v. Dayton Country Club Company I. Facts The Dayton Country Club offers many social activities to its members. However, the privilege to play golf at the club is reserved to a special membership category for which additional fees are charged. The club chooses golfing members from a waiting list of members according to detailed rules, regulations, and procedures. Magness and Redman were golfing members of the Dayton Country Club. Upon their filing for bankruptcy, their trustee sought to assign by sale their rights under these memberships to (1) other members on the waiting list, (2) other members not on the waiting list, or (3) the general public, provided the purchaser first acquired membership in the Club. The bankruptcy court found that the Club’s rules governing golf membership were essentially anti-assignment provisions and therefore the estate could not assign rights contained in the membership agreement. On appeal to the district court, the bankruptcy court’s ruling was affirmed. The district court added that this case was not a lease but rather a “non-commercial dispute over the possession of a valuable membership in a recreational and social club.” II. Issue When the rights under a contract are personal, they may not be assigned. . III. Decision Facts: Decision: Judgment affirmed. . IV. Reasons The Court of Appeals found that the memberships of Magness and Redman were personal contracts...
