Lisa Walker is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Topic: Unit559Board
Time: May 6, 2024 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Join Zoom Meeting
https://us04web.zoom.us/j/78061452285?pwd=G6pqbX2OGkCW5pEaWYBzamTyvgtlnM.1
Meeting ID: 780 6145 2285
Passcode: Pa8ZhY
Because this is an unpaid Zoom account, we only have 40 minutes for the meeting, but we have a short agenda so I think we can get through it.
Dear Board,
Here are the minutes for the meeting tonight. I do not have the financials at this point but hopefully will get them before the meeting.
Also, MoJo is taking the evening off so I am going to figure out how to get a Zoom link to you all this afternoon. Please look for it then.
Many thanks for your work.
Dear Board,
Please see the attached agenda for our Monday Board meeting. I do need the minutes and the financials to review at our meeting.
MoJo, can you do a Zoom link on Monday evening?
Thanks all,
Lisa
Sorry I forgot to add to the Agenda.
INVENTORY
I would like to assess what our unit owns and where these things are located. If you have anything stored at your home, please let me know what you have.
MoJo is having to get storage for items and he should certainly not be paying to store our Unit things. When I know what we have I can arrange for storage of it all together for use in future sectionals, etc. Also, this includes not just card playing times, but coffee makers, serving plates, etc.
Thanks,
Lisa
I'm late, and I hate that. But I'd also love for someone else to write
the column. It's pretty formulaic. :)
Please review for corrections and omissions!

Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
The Arcadia Bridge Center must have been the longest continuously
operated bridge club in the United States. I can't imagine another, but
it might be out there.
Diane made sure that her players would have a place to play before
closing the doors for good on April 30. Despite always shunning
attention, she has been celebrated this past month, and been gracious in
accepting the good wishes. Now we're all delighted to see her playing
the game that was her life with friends and partners, and never again
having to heft a water bottle, clean up a spill, order supplies, or cut
bits of sausage.
The community will see to it that Diane is cared for and always
surrounded by her people. Thank you Diane!
The Pasadena Bridge Club is now offering daily weekday games at 11:00,
and so far all have been well attended. The Saturday afternoon novice /
intermediate game is being paired with an open game for a while, until
the next series of Saturday morning classes are complete. We don't have
a start date yet, but in a couple of months we'll have a separate
Saturday morning 299er game, so it doesn't have to share the space with
the regular afternoon open game.
At the Pasadena Bridge Club, all games May 6-11 will be Royal STaC games
(except the Tuesday evening novice pairs). The week of May 20-25 will be
Club Championship week. Masterpoint awards that week will be big, and
overalls will be awarded.
New classes will be starting in mid-May:
* Introduction to Declarer Play, Wednesdays 7:00, starting May 15
* Two Over One Game Force, Thursdays 7:00, starting May 16
* Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding, Saturdays 9:30, starting May 18
Unit Championships will be held on Sunday, May 5, and Sunday May 19
(first and third) at 12:30. We'll serve pizza from Blaze at about noon.
Make your reservations with Miriam Harrington (626) 232-0558

The April games were well attended, with 12.5 tables on April 7, and 13
on April 21. Here are the winners each direction:
* April 7, N/S Joan Mesias, Jeanette Deverian, E/W Amr Elghamry,
Dominique Moore
* April 21, N/S Karmen Armoudjian, Jan Wickersham, E/W Rae Murbach,
Jerry Murbach
Congratulations to new Regional Masters Ray Boncato and Mariann Nolan,

Marianne Newman and Teresa Thurman.

Good morning to all,
Diane has called me because someone wants to purchase bidding boxes from her. These belong to the Unit, not her club. I have talked with Mojo and he thinks, as do I, thatit would be prudent to keep them all since we will hopefully have a larger sectional at some point. Also, we stocked these boxes with plastic more expensive bidding cards so they have more value than the rack rate.
Since they belong to the Unit, this is a board decision. Please sound in on your thoughts on this. As i said above, my inclination and Mojos is to keep them all.
