March 1 Election Party
by Lisa Walker 28 Feb '26

28 Feb '26

Dear Board, This is a reminder of our Election Party on March 1st at the Unit Game. Zach will be directing that game. I believe we should charge non-unit members a card fee that day, as it is a unit event. We are having Valarta and I will order it the week before. Liza has the plates and silverware already. The following have one more year on their Board commitment: Lisa Kim Laurie Jon Toban The following are going to be returning to the Board: Gloria Pat The following are running for a position on the Board: Miriam Angel Sherna Foucher Mike Marcucci And perhaps: Mark Schaeffer Stan Jeong That makes 12 total which is the limit for the Board. Has anyone heard about anyone else who wants on? I am hoping to avoid an election and the resultant paperwork and work that comes with that but if we have to, we will. I already have the MiniMcKinny medals and who gets them. I also will be announcing the Ace of Clubs awards but there are no medals for that one. Lisa

Fwd: ACBL Unit 559: Outstanding Payment
by Morris Jones 25 Feb '26

This is a very cleverly constructed phishing email! It has the correct From: address, and it's digitally signed somehow. I spent some time looking through the headers, and the origin machine is a random VM somewhere in the cloud. There's no sign that it ever went through gmail. They must have gotten a Gmail private key for signing the header using "DKIM". In any case, it's obviously fraud, and Lisa wasn't hacked or anything. It's just an exceedingly clever counterfeit. If anyone else gets this, just ignore it. There's nothing else to be done.

Could you please cover an urgent $5,500 for the ACBL Unit 559 via bank transfer, zelle, or Venmo? I’ll send the payment details once you confirm and i'll have you reimbursed as soon as I can. Thanks for jumping on this! This is urgent, Please get back as quickly as possible.

Points awards for 2025 and Board info
by Lisa Walker 12 Feb '26

Hi alo, Just so you know, here are the people running for the Board for March 1st. Returning are: Lisa Walker Kim Ebner Laurie Silton Sherry Hansen Jon Fuhgrman Toban Toban These six have one more year to serve. New unit members running for the Board are: Miriam Angel Sherna Foucher Mike Marcucci ‘Melanie Moran Gloria Rommel Pat Leuhrs This makes 12 members of the Board for 2026-27 so no election is needed. These members will have two years to serve. You can all see the Mini McKinney winners on the ACBL website, as well as the Ace of Clubs and the Virtual Ace of Clubs winners. The ACBL has sent emails to all the winners whose emails they have. I can print certificates for the winners but I have found that people don’t really want them. Your thoughts. It is a chore because I have to go to Office Depot and enter each email indifidually, probably about an hour or two worth of time. If you think we have to have this, let me know. You can come with me and help. Or take on this job. See you all on March 1st! Lisa

Like the idea. On February 11, 2026, at 4:39 PM, Gloria M Rommel <blessingnglory(a)msn.com> wrote: I think that the certificates might mean a lot to beginning players or first 3 levels. Lisa, Zak and Mojo are working with those beginning players. Maybe they can run a few off and the board pay for them. Just a thought!
