Director's Salary
by Roy Wilson 19 Dec '21

19 Dec '21

Hi, everyone… I would like to ask for a vote on a salary adjustment for Marie. I do not believe it is fair to pay her $100 while we pay $150 to Mojo. Marie was getting $200 and voluntarily took a cut to $100 when she believed the unit was losing money on the unit game. I think it’s time to restore to at least the same level as a co-director. Can I have a vote on this, please? Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

STaC results
by Morris Jones 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Here are the overall STaC results for Sunday afternoon. It was a small day for the STaC, only 36 tables playing Open Pairs games (of which we provided 16): https://web2.acbl.org/tournaments/results/2021/12/2112501/2112501_20.HTM Roy, you'll want to provide this link on the Unit web page. These results will not appear on The Common Game: 1. This was a Unit 559 game (club 905596) which doesn't (yet) have a sanction with The Common Game 2. I'm not a designated director with TheCommonGame or ACBL for the San Marino Bridge Club 3. It doesn't make sense to post it under the San Marino Bridge Club, and the club number wouldn't match anyway 4. These are not TheCommonGame hands, they're Western Conference STaC hands 5. Exactly the same data, albeit in not as nice a format (IMHO), is available from ACBL Live for Clubs For future unit games I'll have to do some administration work to get the Unit sanctioned with The Common Game for twice-monthly games. Those game results will /not /appear on the San Marino Bridge Club results page. Here is the Unit 559 results page on ACBL Life for Clubs: https://my.acbl.org/club-results/905596 Mojo -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>

Tom, I sent this to the Unit Board for proofreading, but I'm not anticipating any edits. Not a lot o' news. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit At least for a while, people were coming back to play in the unit game! Our November game on the 14th reached capacity at the Bridge Center with 15 tables. Overall winners were Fredy and Lulu Minter, with Paul Nason and John Villalobos taking second both in the N/S section. We'll have a single Unit game on Sunday, December 12. We're planning to make it a little more festive, with a traditional holiday lunch of pizza. :) Reservations and proof of COVID vaccination are required! Call Miriam Harrington for reservations at (626) 232-0558. Online club games continue six days a week in combination with five other nearby units. Drop in at bridgemojo.com and click "Games" for the full schedule. Last week we were delighted to report Lulu Minter's change in rank, this week Fredy joins in climbing the ladder as a new Ruby Life Master. Congratulations! -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>
