I don' t think we should advertise the free plays on the flyer as I sed it to other clubs.

Let me know about the free plays so I can update the flyer.

We have 7 people running for 7 spots. The are as follows: Morris Jones Michael Rodriques Donald Garner Doug Senor Patricia Leahrs Gloria Rommel Liza Billngton Five of us are returning: Lisa Walker Angela Peters Sherry Hansen Miriam Harrington Kathy Cresto So we will have a full contingent of Board members for the next year. Yeah!! We do need to have an election to approve the amended By Laws so those ballots will be passed out at the Election Party on March 3rd. Hopefully Richard will be there to tabulate them as the head of the Nominating Committee. I would still like to have the Election Party free to our players, that means everyone that comes. We can limit it to ____??? tables and require reservations. I think it’s a nice thing to do for our members and we have plenty of cash in the bank, as well as a Sectional coming up in July which hopefully we will make extra funds from. I don’t think should say that only Unit 559 members are free. Let’s just have a nice game with food and drink and free plays. I figure it will cost us about $600 all told with the food, drink, sanction fee, club rental and director fee. But of course this is up to the whole board. We will not have a meeting beforehand, so please sound in on your thoughts in the next 5 days so Kathy can publicize this for us. Also, Mariam, do you think my calculation is correct about cost? Thanks for your service, Lisa _______________________________________________ Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com To unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com

DRAFT Unit 559 Bridge News Column

Another last minute submission -- sorry! Please review for corrections and omissions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit There are some great events coming up in February to celebrate Chinese New Year. The Pasadena Bridge Club is having *club championship games* all week Tuesday through Saturday, February 6-10. That includes the open games on Wednesday and Thursday at 11:00, and the Novice/Intermediate games on Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon. Card fees are the same $10, but masterpoints will be about triple the usual amount -- the same as a Unit Championship. We're also putting on a full Chinese New Year's party on *Wednesday, February 7*! Margie Lee and friends will be decorating the club, and bringing in lunch. It should be a great time! Make your reservations early -- the club will be limited to 15 tables at most for the party and game. Game time is 11:00 AM, and we'll take a little extra time to party and enjoy lunch. January's unit games were well attended, with 10-1/2 tables on January 7, and 12 tables on January 21. Winners in each direction: January 7: * N/S: Karen Arase, Gitta Earll * E/W: George Wang, Frank Shih January 21: * N/S: Connie Kang, Greg Tapia * E/W: Amr Elghamry, Dominique Moore February's Unit Games will be on Sunday, February 4, at the Pasadena Bridge Club, and Sunday, February 18, at the Arcadia Bridge Center. Game time is 12:30 PM. With space being somewhat limited, reservations are required! Contact Miriam Harrington for a reservation, (626) 232-0558, or miratpf(a)aol.com. We had some big rank changes in January! * Life Master: Kim Ebner, Nina Huang * Bronze Life Master: Andrew Rottenbacher * Gold Life Master: Michael Marcucci It seems like it was just last week that Kim Ebner was trying to catch on in a class of Bridge Basics 1 with me at Arcadia High School. Congratulations Kim! And Nina crossed that milestone in a flash as well! *Next month:* the unit Membership Meeting, Party, and Game will be on March 3 at the Pasadena Bridge Club. Again, space is limited! Make your reservations soon with Miriam. -- build message Morris "Mojo" Jones mojo(a)PasadenaBridgeClub.com https://PasadenaBridgeClub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Pasadena Bridge Club <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com>
