'FRIENDS OF UNIT 559' PAGE OF HARD COPY ROSTER
by Katherine Cresto 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

While I was working on updating the 'hard copy', it also included this page in the back of the book. Do we want to: 1. continue with this 'page'; 2. add the names (need a few emails) to the list that will be sent out in January with respect to the 'OPT' email blast; 3. if yes to the above, add add it as a separate section on the unit website? I have attached the latest copy. (Does anyone want to add others?) What are your thoughts? Kathy

holiday party so far
by Morris Jones 03 Dec '23

Miriam and I reconciled our lists. We currently have 24 pairs (48 people) 12 tables. Bill Martin is looking for a partner. It's reasonable to expect that a few more will want to join in. I think booking food for 60 would seem wise. For those who would like to see the list: If you know your login account on RSVPBridge, do that. Click on the "December 10" date on the calendar, then click the "Go" button by the "Holiday Party and Royal STaC". If you'd like to do that but need help logging in to RSVPBridge, let me know.

DRAFT December Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
by Morris Jones 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

Please review for corrections and omissions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit It may be too late by the time you read this, but if you don't yet have your place reserved for the *December 10 Holiday Party at Arcadia Community Center,* it may be too late! We're having a great taco buffet, and of course a Royal STaC game, for $30 each. Check with Miriam Harrington to see if there are still spaces available. (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com We have to order food from the caterer a week in advance, so if you haven't yet made your reservation, you might be able to play, but may not have any food! We had two nice big Unit Games in November: November 5, at the Pasadena Bridge Club, 9 tables: * N/S Fredy and Lulu Minter * E/W Don Garner and Margie Lee The November 19 game at the Arcadia Bridge Center had 13 tables, and was a Sectional Tournament at Clubs: * N/S Paul Nason and Diana Borgatti * E/W Amr Elghamry and Dominique Moore For the STaC overall results, we didn't have any big winners in the region, but Amr and Dominique took 5th overall for region, out of 39.5 tables. How about a *New Year's Eve party*? Not late into the evening, but a bridge game in the afternoon, at the Pasadena Bridge Center. I'm planning an "Eight is enough" format team game for Sunday, December 31. After bridge, if you'd like to hang out, we can play board games maybe! I'll have more details later. I'd love to serve wine, cheese, maybe a mexican buffet -- truly make a party out of it. *Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction* is starting on Wednesday evenings, with the first class on January 10. This is shaping up to be a huge class, so it's a good idea to get your reservation in early with PCC Extension! Visit https://pasadenabridgeclub.com to find the link to register. Congratulations to *Robert Jennings* who became a new Sectional Master this past month! -- build message Morris "Mojo" Jones mojo(a)PasadenaBridgeClub.com https://PasadenaBridgeClub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Pasadena Bridge Club <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com>
