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.

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!

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.

Good morning everyone. We have a meeting scheduled for Monday evening at 7 PM. I have not received minutes from the last meeting or the financials. Please get them to me before the meeting so we can vote on them. Also, Tom Reynolds has asked to address the Board about an idea he has and I have invited him to the meeting to do this when we open at 7. MoJo, can you do the Zoom invite and include Tom in the invite as well. I have his email if you do not. Thank you all for serving,.

subway options
by Morris Jones 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

We talked about having Subway sandwiches instead of pizza for the unit game. I'm looking through the catering menu online: https://www.ezcater.com/catering/pvt/subway-altadena?c=subway-altadena The "Easy Order Sandwich Platter" is probably the best option. They say it "serves 7" but it's five footlong sandwiches, so for our group it really should server 10 or so. It's $56.79. If we have ten tables that's 40 folks, so the cost is going to be about $250 for four platters. If we have 13 tables, that's 52 folks, closer to $300 with tax. It's not a bad option, but it's about three times the $100 I spend on the four pizzas.

I agree with Angela. However, we should mix it up every so often. On October 17, 2024, at 4:01 PM, Angela Peters <angela.peters48(a)gmail.com> wrote: I vote to stick with pizza.
