Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
The unit was saddened this past month by the death of our long time
friend, supporter, and great bridge player, Peter Szesci. Peter was a
constant presence and supporter of the unit. He spent many years on the
unit board, including, I think, every officer position.
In Peter's honor, the Over-Under game will be known as the Peter Szesci
Over-Under game.
I'll never forget the time Peter called me on the phone before an
earlier Over-Under game years ago. "Hello Morris? This is Peter Szesci.
Do you know me?" Everyone knew Peter. He was calling to ask if I would
play as a mentor in the game, and of course I did.
If you're a non-Life Master, under 500 masterpoints, you can join us at
the *Peter Szesci Memorial Over-Under game* this month, on Sunday, July
23, at the Arcadia Bridge Center.
*Reservations are required!* You can register online by visiting the web
site for the Pasadena Bridge Club, and click on the Over/Under game link
near the top of the page. You can also email to
mojo(a)pasadenabridgeclub.com or phone (626) 247-4457. (Here's the
registration link: https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/over_under_game )
At 12:30, all partnerships will be formed by a random draw, and you'll
have some time to meet your mentor or mentee. Junior players are
encouraged to bring a favorite convention card, if they have one. All of
the mentor players will play your card. (This isn't the time to learn a
new convention!) The game will begin shortly after, probably about 12:50.
The Over-Under game will be our only unit game this month. Hopefully
you'll join us in Long Beach at the regional!
The June games were well attended, winners were:
* June 4:
o N/S Cathy Martin, Diana Borgatti
o E/W Amr Elghamry, Dominique Moore
* June 18:
o N/S Mike Marcucci, Miriam Harrington
o E/W Dan Botoaca, Amr Elghamry
We have a lot of rank changes this month, reflecting lots of new ACBL
members in the unit, and students graduating from classes. Welcome to:
* Junior Master
o Robert Jennings
o Louise Wannier
* Sectional Master
o Jon Fuhrman
o Susan Kane
* Regional Master
o Toban
* And special congratulations to new Life Master
o Wayne Fang

Good morning Board,
We would like to have a Board meeting this Monday June 19th at 7 PM to discuss and vote on Overs for the Over/Under game in July. We do not have a Unit game in July and the first Monday is a holiday weekend so this would be a good time to get this done.
Please let me know if you are available and I will send out an agenda on Friday. This will be a short meeting but important to get this done.
Linda, can you send me minutes and Miriam, can you give either Richard or Roy a copy of the financials on Sunday so they can be sent to all the Board before the meeting.
Many thanks to each of you for your service.
Lisa
Peter passed away on Tuesday.
I would like to suggest that we find a way to remember him, as he was active in our unit and in the district for over 40 years.
I would also like to request that the board authorize Mojo to send a district-wide notice of his passing.
Peter and I were partners for about 22 years, and he was my mentor…. I will miss him!
Roy
I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Attached is a draft list of candidates for Overs in the Over/Under game to be held July 23rd. This list includes candidates who are Life Masters and who have social skills that would be supportive and educational to Under players who are paired with them. We will be voting for a prioritized list of candidates at our next meeting. Therefore, please send me additional candidates to add to this list by 7:00 pm Sunday evening so I can create a final list for our meeting. I will send out the final list on Sunday after 7:00 pm.
At the meeting we will use the multivoting system to establish a prioritized list of candidates. Each member of the Board will be given 20 votes that he/she can use to vote for candidates on the list. You may vote for a candidate as many times as you like but you can only use 20 votes altogether. If you prefer, you can prepare your votes and email (or call me) beforehand to cast your votes (818-370-0977).
Thanks,
Richard
