Fwd: Unit 559 Pasadena San Gabriel / Holiday Party — Sunday, December 15, 2024
by Morris Jones 08 Dec '24

08 Dec '24

I have two sections for the Holiday Party, Eleven tables in Open, and 5.5 tables in 299er. I also have Linda Lucas looking for a partner. While I was rearranging players into sections, I lost some "paid" notifications. Dang! I'll have to trust that a few people paid me already. I can remember a few. Right now I show that I've collected 27 payments for $795, and I think it should be closer to 33 paid to me.

I decided I'd draft and send an email to all of the 0-300 members in District 23 to encourage sign ups for the holiday party 0-300 game. Spent a few credits in the email account. I thought I'd better just do it before we close sign-ups.

26 Nov '24

Two things I have a request from someone to come to play bridge but not have the luncheon. She is gluten free and highly allergic. I think we should allow her to come and just pay a card fee. How much should it be consideing we are renting space? Is this ok withbeveryone? Also, Sherry is bringing coffee and supplies, Pat is bringing bottled water, i am bringing coolers. Who was bringing the soft drinks? I dontvwant to bother Don with the minutes as he has been in the hospital. See younthere! Lisa Sent from my iPad

Lisa, I agree on a reduced price for someone who can’t eat the lunch. Did we do an estimate of what the food will cost per person? It seems fair that the card fee without lunch might be higher than usual since we have to pay to rent the venue. Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done other than arriving at 11:00 to get set up.

I think $15.00 is sufficient. Sherry,if you get the dairy creamers in addition to the coffee, tea bags and filters I will get the cups, stir sticks, coffee mate powder, sugars.

DRAFT bridge news column

Please review for errors and omissions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit Morris "Mojo" Jones We're taking reservations for our annual holiday party! We'll meet for a fabulous tri-tip lunch catered by Stonefire Grill and bridge at the *Arcadia Community Center* on *December 15*. The cost will be $30 per player (same as last year!) for the fabulous meal and great bridge. We'll be selling entries and taking reservations at the Pasadena Bridge Club. You're welcome to pay using cash or a credit card, and *reservations will only be accepted up until December 5*, so we can get the count of attendees to the caterer. Lunch will be at 12:00 Noon, with bridge to follow. There's a fascinating phenomenon on the ridge of Mt. Wilson that's often visible from our club. An artist and scientist collaborated on the installation of a device using prisms and mirrors at the top of the 150 ft. solar observatory tower. The tower itself is always visible on the ridge, looking like a white matchstick to the right of the big grey TV towers. The project is called Sunstar, and when it's active, the top of the tower glows brightly with a particular color of sunlight. I've pointed it out to players, thinking it was a reflection from the observatory itself. The fact that it's an art/science installation is quite delightful. If you Google for "mt wilson sunstar" you can find more information about it. Meanwhile, it's been a great month of bridge at the Pasadena Bridge Club, with a couple of very well attended Unit Games, as well as the NAP District Final hosted at the club. We had 12 tables on October 20. Winners N/S were a tie: Karmen Armoudjian with Jan Wickersham, tied with Yongkang Huang with Ming Hu. E/W was won by Mark Peters and Sin Orensztein. On November 3 we had 11 tables, N/S winners: Caryn Mason and Patrick Finley. E/W winners: Paul Nason and Elliott Mazur. Reservations are open for the November 17 and December 1 unit games. Contact Miriam Harrington, (626) 232-0558, miratpf(a)aol.com. The Pasadena Bridge Club will be offering four single-topic bridge classes using lesson material from Eddie Kantar on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, December 11-12 and 18-19. New courses will start up in the first week of January, with Competitive Bidding and Play of the Deal. Congratulations to our players reaching new ACBL master ranks! With the new bridge news schedule, I'm going to congratulate both the November and December updates. (Each update is posted on the 6th of the previous month): November: * Club Master o Kenneth Farhang * Bronze Life Master o Gloria Rommel December: * Club Master o Susan Claster o Fred Register * Bronze Life Master o Nina Huang * Gold Life Master o Dan Lubesnik -- build message Morris "Mojo" Jones mojo(a)PasadenaBridgeClub.com https://PasadenaBridgeClub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Pasadena Bridge Club <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com>
