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.

One more thing

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

May Bridge News

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 miratpf(a)aol.com. 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, new Life Masters Tim Lee and Teresa Thurman, and new Bronze Life Masters Marianne Newman and Teresa Thurman. I'd also like to recognize the winners of the 2023 masterpoint races. I know I'm late, but it still deserves to be here: The Mini-McKinney for most total masterpoints won: Starting masterpoints >10,000 John Jones 5000-7500 Connie Kang 3500-5000 Milt Kalikman 2500-3500 Joan Mesias 1500-2500 Fredy Minter 1000-1500 Sandy Rucker 500-1000 Paulette Burkitt 300-500 Hanna Zhuang 200-300 Tracee Dezzutti 100-200 Ming Hu 50-100 Nina Huang 20-50 Sherry Warmuth 5-20 Hsing Fang 0-5 Robert Jennings The Ace of Clubs award for most points won in club games (black points): Starting masterpoints >10000 Lulu Minter 5000-7500 Dominique Moore 3500-5000 Milt Kalikman 2500-3500 Joan Mesias 1500-2500 Fredy Minter 1000-1500 Sandy Rucker 500-1000 Sadika Elewy 300-500 Gloria Rommel 200-300 Tracee Dezzutti 100-200 Stephen Guerrero 50-100 Ray Boncato 20-50 Stuart Soldate 5-20 Hsing Fang 0-5 Robert Jennings -- build message Morris "Mojo" Jones mojo(a)PasadenaBridgeClub.com https://PasadenaBridgeClub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Pasadena Bridge Club <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com>

Bidding boxes
by Lisawalker 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

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. Lisa Sent from my iPad

Jane, Zachary, and I have decided that Diane would play for free for life at our club. I'd like to propose that the Unit do the same for those games. What say ye? Mojo Morris Jones pasadenabridgeclub.com

I concur. On April 19, 2024, at 2:40 PM, Lisawalker <lisawalkerlac(a)gmail.com> wrote: I fully agree and so far so have 5 board members. If we can get two more, we can start this now at the next unit game before memorializing it at the board meeting. So two more board members please sound in. That is such a generous gesture, MoJo, Zach and Jane. Thank you for leading the way on this and it is much deserved for Diane who has facilitated games for so many for such a long time.
