I put in an application in TourneyTrax to hold a sectional on July
27-28, 2024, using the Pasadena Bridge Club as the venue.
I have not yet applied to reserve the Community Room for those dates.
I'd like to see if it passes muster with ACBL first. It seems like a
decent weekend.

Good morning Board,
As I sat down to prepare an agenda for Monday’s meeting, I realized that we don’t really have anything major to discuss at a Board meeting. The Over/Under game flyers are out, the By Laws are still waiting for us to come up with how to define a quorum, and I have not had a chance with Richard to review the Standing Rules, but that is not urgent.
Unless someone has something urgent to discuss, I suggest we cancel Monday’s meeting and look to the next month.
What say you?
Lisa
Please review for errors and (especially) omissions!

New students are clamoring to learn to play bridge! The PCC Extension
"Bridge Introduction" class, held at the Pasadena Bridge Club, started
May 20 and drew 28 students! That class will be continuing on Saturday
mornings through June. Shortly after the Long Beach Regional, I'll be
offering a class for 2/1 Game Force on Thursday evenings. Play of the
Hand is continuing on Wednesday evenings, and will be followed by
Defense. Lots of opportunities to level-up your bridge game!
For the June Unit Games, we'll be holding one Sunday June 4 at the
Pasadena Bridge Club, and one June 18 at the Arcadia Bridge Center. Game
times are 12:30 PM, and reservations are required! Contact Miriam
Harrington, (626) 232-0558, or miratpf(a)aol.com.
In July, we won't hold a unit game early in the month, instead we'll be
joining everyone at the Bridge Week Regional in Long Beach. Looking
forward to seeing you all there!
On Sunday, July 23, we'll be holding a special game at the Arcadia
Bridge Center where newer players get to play with a more experienced
partner. We call it the Over/Under game. Generally speaking, the "Under"
players have fewer than 300 masterpoints, and the "Over" players have
more. (Think of it as Life Masters paired with non-Life Masters, but it
may not be exactly that).
I'm taking signups now for the Under players for July 23: drop an email
to mojo(a)pasadenabridgeclub.com and let me know you'd like to play!
It's important to note that partnership assignments for the Over/Under
Game will not be made until the day of the event, and partnerships will
ONLY be assigned through a random draw. No pre-arranged partnerships
will be admitted.
Winners for the May Unit Games:
Sunday, May 7 (STaC game)
* N/S *Joan Mesias* and *Jeanette Deverian*
* E/W *Mark Peters* and *Sin Orensztein*
Sunday, May 21
* N/S *Joan Mesias* and *Jeanette Deverian*
* E/W *Rose Boot* and *John Darrow*
For the May 7 STaC game, Mark and Sin rang up a 72.83% game! Amazingly
enough, that was only good enough for second place in the Western
Conference for Sunday afternoon!
Congratulations to new NABC Master *Paulette Burkitt* and new Advanced
NABC Master *Angela Peters*!

Attached is the financial report for our meeting tonight.
Also, to add to the agenda, Elliot Mazur has asked if he brings food to a unit game, would he be reimbursed? We already pay both Diane and MoJo $40 per game for food, but he wanted more. I told him it was a board decision so we can discuss this tonight as well.
See you at 7. MoJo will send link.

Good afternoon, Board
Attached please find the Agenda for Monday’s meeting, minutes from the last meeting, By Laws Revision and proposed Over/Under Procedures.
Miriam, if you have the financials, please send them out before if you can! Or you can hand them to me on Sunday and I will send them out.
Thanks all,
Lisa
Good morning, Board,
I will be sending out an agenda on Friday for our meeting on Monday at 7 PM. I anticipate it will be short but want to confirm procedures for Over/Under game, have a look at the revised By-l;aws and name the dates for Unit games in August, September and October.
Linda and Miriam, if I could get the financials and minutes by Friday, that would be great to send out with the agenda packet.
Lisa
