Please review for corrections and (most importantly) omissions. What am I forgetting? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit Morris "Mojo" Jones The big event this month is the Over/Under game, pairing junior players with experienced partners. The event will be held on Sunday, September 29, and the signups are fairly complete at this point. We should have a splendid game with several tables, and lots of pizza. :) Our long time friend of the unit Marie Nimmrich is hosting social duplicate games at the Arcadia Community Center. They're holding games on Wednesday from 9:30 - 12:30 at the community center, and on Fridays from 1:00 to 4:00 in the museum. She asks for a donation of 50 cents for each game. Since our last column, we've held unit games on August 18 and September 1. The turnout has been great, and the pizza from Blaze seems to go quickly! Our unit games pay lots of extra black masterpoints, and are still only $10 (cash only). To reserve your seat in a unit game, contact Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com. Unit games are held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month (usually) at the Pasadena Bridge Club. The next Unit Games are on October 6th and 20th. Winners on August 18 with 10-1/2 tables: * N/S: Michael Marcucci and Miriam Harrington * E/W: Yongkang Huang and Ming Hu Winners on September 1 with 12-1/2 tables: * N/S: Karen Arase and Gitta Earll * E/W: Kim Ebner and Leslie Klein There are reasons to be optimistic about the future of bridge -- one sign is the number of players who are winning masterpoints and moving up in the ranks of the ACBL. We have a multitude of players climbing the ranks this month! * Junior Master: Robert Hunt * Club Master: Anne Buettner * Sectional Master: Carol Maffin * Regional Master: Liza Billington * Ruby Life Master: Diane Gulbrandsen * Sapphire Life Master: Joan Mesias -- build message Morris "Mojo" Jones mojo(a)PasadenaBridgeClub.com https://PasadenaBridgeClub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Pasadena Bridge Club <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com>

2025 Sectional Proposed Budget
by Lisa Walker 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

Please look at the attached before we meet again. I have guessed at 120 tables and put a price in of $14/person per game. Just for the sake of the budget. Did not include cost for the caddies for the team games or what else?? And I have only included 1 Assistant TD. All costs are from this year so could be higher next year.

Hidden Roster
by Roy Wilson 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Hi, friends, Although it is now illegal to publish an Open Directory for our membership, we do have a private one available for our board members and can also be made available to directors. Rather than send you the hidden link I would prefer to have you ask for it and then I will provide it. This is a list that I receive monthly and it includes the rank of each member. It is my understanding that printed booklets are not forbidden by law since the only person who can see it is the person who has it in their possession, however, previous boards have had a long discussions on whether to continue publishing It or not with the final consensus being that it is an anachronism from the past and is too expensive to continue. Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
