Unit 559 History
by Lisa Walker 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Here is the Unit 559 History written by Mike Marcucci for the day we have contributed for during the ongoing Beach Regional. Roy, I have converted this to PDF. Can you put on the website? Also our day during the tournament is July 4th so it would be nice to have as many from our unit as possible that day. Seems difficult since it’s the holiday but there you are… Lisa

Hooray! One of Frontier's tech gave me a call and came 5 day early. He didn’t completely fix my problem, but our website is backup. I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

Folks, My assessment of the two of these that I reviewed is that the content and general formatting is very nice. They show a lot of thought and effort. However, the number of capitalized words is unnecessary and very distracting (looks like the CAPS LOCK got stuck here and there). I’d reserve caps for special terms and words to which we want to bring particular attention. Alternatively, we could just capitalize everything………. I did proposed revisions on two of the four attachments (attached) which you can review, assess, and comment on for what they are worth. Don Donald K.

Don, The two attachments marked Roy were only supposed to go directly to him as he requested larger font. You are more than welcome to work with Pat to update the one that has the picture.

Website is down
by Roy Wilson 20 Jun '24

No, this is not a problem caused by an aging computer nor an aging webmaster. Frontier, my internet service provider, is at fault —- AGAIN! They caused the last one and several others in the past and they also responsible for this one, and won’t send a tech until next Tuesday. Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

Any adjustment to the flyer, i.e., adding Paula as an Assistant Director?

This wi enable us to keep the full MP awards and also make it much easier on the directors. We have not heard that Paula is willing to do this yet, but I will keep you informed. This is much easier on our directors, as the TD signs everyone in and takes care or all payments, etc. Thanks for all your quick responses this morning.

Don't like the cut in MP's. Will caddies be any help? On June 17, 2024, at 9:55 AM, Morris Jones <mojo(a)pasadenabridgeclub.com> wrote: There's more information to consider. First, John Coulombe is from San Marcos in northern San Diego county. We're on the hook for mileage (I didn't find out $/mi) and hotel. John has already spent about $200 for a Pasadena hotel room. Either way, this is way below my nightmares of him flying from somewhere. So we may not be looking at as much of a savings as I thought, especially at this point, where he's already spent the hotel money. And again, another cost of switching is that the masterpoint awards get cut to 80% of a full sectional. If we kept our sectional a Championship event, I might suggest hiring Paula (if she's willing) so we have two assistants. That would leave one of us to do things like duplicate boards for the next session (we need four board sets each session!). That would add $400 I think.
