Dear Board,
I went to Mariam’s today to get the information on last year’s xmas party. It is as follows—
Arcadia Community Center Cost $541.00
Sanction Fees 120.25
Director 200.00
Centerpieces 48.55
Supplies 277.15
Food 1,278.44
TOTAL 2,465.39
Our income from the party last year charging $35/person was $2625.00
so our net income last year was $159.61.
This year we are contemplating using the Taco Guy, estimate for 100 people is $1578.
This does not include dessert and drinks. The reason for the food increase I believe is that we were pricing box lunches which are more expensive than getting sandwich trays and salad bowls. I believe my Green Street bill last year was around $900 and the rest was dessert and drinks. So it is significantly more expensive to use either box launches or the Taco Guy. Both are inviting because they remove the work from us.
So here are my questions, and if you could take the time to answer them, it would be helpful—
1. MoJo, has there been an increase in the director fee for this year?
2. Arcadia Center is the same price and I assume that sanctions will be around the same. Last year I think we had 18 tables, which is 72 people. We could lower the number of people for the Taco Guy to 75 which will cut that cost.
3. I believe Jan still has the tablecloths from last year, but I will have to check with her so that cuts out that cost.
4. Do you think it’s realistic to expect around 18 tables this year?
If we charge $30/person and have 18 tables, here is the breakdown
Arcadia 541.
Director 200
supplies 250
Food ` 1200
Sanction 130
Des/Dri 200
TOTAL 2521.00
72@$30 2160.00
We would be at a negative $361.00 but I think we have the funds and our unit members would be grateful and we might even get more people.
Can you give me your opinions on whether we should go ahead with this or do the same thing we did last year?

HI Board,
This is the estimate for the Taco Guy Catering for the Christmas Party. Angela and I think it looks good. Everything listed is included in the price. We would have to get drinks and dessert, maybe a cake from Costco? This included 4-5 tacos per person which seems like plenty of food per person.
Please let me know your comments as soon as possible so I can book it. I leave for spain for three weeks on Monday so would like to get it confirmed by then.

Good morning Board,
We will have a Board meeting on Monday September 11th at 7 PM. I will send the Zoom link that day so it does not get lost. Attached is the agenda and minutes. I hopefully will have the financials before then as well.

Please review for corrections and omissions. What did I forget?

Pasadena San Gabrielt Unit
Morris "Mojo" Jones
August is usually a quiet month at the bridge clubs, but it's been busy
for me! We had three special games at the Pasadena Bridge Club on
Wednesday mornings: two NAP Qualifiers, and one STaC game. Classes are
going great, and a new session of /Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction/
started on August 31.
When tropical storm Hilary passed through, we decided to postpone the
August 20 Unit Game to August 27. The delay allowed us to turn the game
into a Western Conference STaC game. That was truly a silver lining!
While I was in Florida for my dad's 90th birthday, Paula Olivares was
kind enough to cover the Unit Game on August 6. We had eight tables,
with winners:
* N/S Jeanette Deverian, Joan Mesias
* E/W Karen Arase, Gitta Earll
For the delayed August 27 STaC game at the Arcadia Bridge Center we had
11 tables. Winners were:
* N/S Joan Mesias, Jeanette Deverian (again!)
* E/W Amr Elghamry, Dominique Moore (72.81% game!)
Normally you would think a 72% game would be enough to win the event
conference wide, but no! It was only good enough for 2nd place, losing
to a well-known pair from the Beverly Hills Bridge Club. Still Amr and
Dominique added 10.38 silver points to their considerable stash.
Unit Games for September will be held at the Pasadena Bridge Club on
September 3, and the Arcadia Bridge Center on September 17. For
reservations contact me or Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558,
miratpf(a)aol.com.
The October Unit Games may need a shift in schedule, since the first
Sunday, October 1, the Pasadena Bridge Club will be taken over by the
District 23 North American Pairs Final tournament. Check the unit
website http://www.acblunit559.com/ or the Pasadena Bridge Club site
https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/ for updates.
Congratulations to our members reaching new ranks!
New Junior Master Suzanne Gati
New Club Master Derald Brackman
And special congratulations to newly minted Life Masters Prasad Upasani
and Hanna Zhuang.

I would like to postpone the game to next Sunday at 12:30 (will need to confirm with Diane).
Mojo can direct and can possibly be a STAC game
I need board approval so please respond asap if you can!
