I no longer am suggesting that the board become involved in the management of a club to replace the Bridge Center, but I want to remind all of you that one of the main purpose of the board is to promote bridge, and specifically item C in the bylaws: C. To promote the development and organization of affiliated clubs within the Unit. If Fredy can find a way to keep the Bridge Center open, the unit board should strive to help him. One way to do that is with a zero interest loan to help him with tables, chairs, etc. Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
My opinion: One club is NOT sufficient. We have many players who come from Glendora, Azusa, Covina, etc, and the Pasadena club is a wonderful addition to our bridge world, but it is a 45-60 minute drive for those of us who live in these communities ….and even longer after the game is over. Roy I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

There’s a lot of ifs here, Roy. Let Fredy negotiate with Diane and approach the board himself if he wants to move forward. Until we hear directly from Fredy I am closing this discussion Lisa Sent from my iPhone

There is no need to negotiate with Diane. She is not selling the club… she is retiring, and Fredy is interested in opening a new club, but hopefully in the same location.. I am only suggesting that Fredy would find it easier with a bit of financial help, such as I suggested. No expense to the unit, either, but a loan for tables, etc would certainly meet one of the By-Laws goals. I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

Let’s hear from Fredy. Otherwise we are just spinning our wheels here We have no idea what his needs are. I understand the need and desire for another club. The owner of it needs to approach the board We are not going to guess what he needs or wants Sent from my iPhone
