I need you all to review my facts here. Do I have the Unit Game dates
correct? Do I have Miriam's phone number correct? I wrote this almost
entirely from a vague memory. :)

Not a lot of news in the Pasadena unit. The Bridge Center in Arcadia
continues a schedule of bridge five days a week. Drop in to
http://www.arcadiabridgecenter.com for the schedule, and give Diane a
call at (626) 445-3797.
Still nothing to report on the planned renovation for the San Marino
club. I know we're all eagerly awaiting any news of the city's plans for
the club and building.
We had a second Unit Game on July 11 at the Bridge Center, which doubled
as an NAP qualifier game. Overall winners were Jack Chang and Sophia
Chang (winning from Flight B), second overall Patrick Cardullo and
Carolyn Cohen. Flight C overall winners were Michael Rodrigues and Ron Lu.
August has two Sunday Unit Games on the calendar: August 8 and August
22, and the unit board is hoping to continue with two Unit games monthly
for a little while, inviting players to come back into the bridge club.
For these games in particular, reservations will be required, as well as
proof of a COVID vaccination. For reservations, contact Miriam
Harrington at (626) 447-6718.
Special congratulations to new Sapphire Life Master Ernie Wong! :)
I will be offering my first new-era face-to-face beginning bridge
classes this September through Pasadena City College Extension program
on Wednesday evenings. I'll have more information and dates on
https://bridgemojo.com as registration becomes available.
Best regards,
Mojo

I wanted to meet this coming Thursday, July 29th at 1:00 to discuss the
contract with the Arcadia Senior Center and also some concerns about the
vaccine requirement.
Hi Jan,
I looked at the contract. How many tables would that room accomodate? I see they have a kitchen we could use as well. It will probably be easier to cater something than try and prepare a meal there. Are we thinking about serving liquor, and then needing a liquor license?
It says that they rent to non-profits; are we considered a non-profit organization? Are you sure that they will rent to us? It doesn’t look like they allow private parties or weddings, etc. in that space.
Just wondering about the above.

Marianne got back to me again and is still checking San Gabriel Country Club.

I just checked with our insurance carrier about the 1 million dollar liability coverage. Presuming that there would be alcohol served, I was told that our coverage does not include this. We would have to get a separate 1-day policy at a cost of $316.

Hi Gang,
I called Arcadia Center and January 9, 2022 IS available. If we’re interested, thy want a signed contract in 10 days. I believe we can get the full ballroom for $450.00 and a 6 hour limit. We would not be able to hold 2 games, but it would provide a place for a nice party. Please look it over, read the FINE PRINT and let me know what you think.

Darn, but after years and years with the same email address, I recently
had to change it, and now, I have to change it again.
These are old ones...

roy.wilson(a)mail.com
And this is my latest one: roywilson.DLM(a)gmail.com
Actually, I have another one which has been very stable over the
years... unit559WebMaster(a)gmail.com
Watching then.
