An Ambassador Position
by Roy Wilson 07 Nov '21

07 Nov '21

Hi, everyone, I have a proposal which should be very inexpensive. Every month Marie and I get a membership report from the ACBL. Part of that information is the names of new players who have joined our unit and also the names of players who have transferred into our unit. You can imagine how difficult it might be for these players to find a new partner. I propose that we appoint someone as Ambassador to contact them and offer to play with them as a means to help them find a regular partner. The cost? How about we pay the Ambassador’s card fees? Or, we might ask Diane if she would be willing to waive the cost. Would it be too much to offer a free play one time for the new player? I have a person in mind, too. Gloria Rommel has been a member of our unit for over 25 years, but shortly after she became a Life Master she quit playing. She never lost her interest, though, and has recently returned to the game as a fill-in at the Bridge Center. I asked if she would be willing to take this position and she was enthusiastic about it. Are we? Aye or Nay? I vote aye. Roy Wilson I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

Great! I’m glad to see that everyone thinks it’s a good idea! I will let Gloria know that the position is approved, and will send her telephone numbers of new players and transfers each month. I think she should give us a report occasionally, too. Thank you! Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
