I'm late, so I don't know if I'll be able to get the column into the
Bridge News or not.
Tom, I'll have an edit of the North American Pairs article for you. Only
change: COVID vaccinations will be required and checked if not already
checked.
Tom, I'd also like to run the same quarter-page ad for the Pasadena
Bridge Club please.
Board please check for corrections and omissions

Pasadena San Gabriel Unit 559
It's been a busy month for me! Thanks so much to everyone who came out
for the work party on December 17 at the Pasadena Bridge Club. Helping
put together chairs and end tables for the club were Barbara Leider,
Yvonne Schimmel, Liza Billington, Cory Brendel, Lisa Walker, Cardon
Walker, Susan Kane, and Jon Fuhrman.
January 7 will be our opening day gala. On that Saturday (as in all
following) we'll have a game at 1:00 p.m. with Open Pairs plus a
novice/intermediate section for 0-300 players. Make a reservation for
this game or any game at this link:

It was so great seeing everyone come out for the Holiday Party on
December 11. We had 18-1/2 tables, contributing to 131-1/2 tables in the
Great Western Royal STaC game. Big winners with first in Flight B and
fifth in Flight A overall were *Jack Chang* and *Zheng Zhang*. Six other
pairs managed to place in the event overalls.
Upcoming Unit Games will be held twice monthly at the Arcadia Bridge
Center. In January our games are on the 8th and 22nd. For reservations,
contact Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com.
Congratulations to new Junior Masters *Hsing Fang* and *Victoria
Livingstone*, new Club Master *Xiaoyan Zhou*, and new Advanced NABC
Master *Kim Ebner*.

Who did she buy them from? Lots of scams online. Best to purchase gift cards in a store. Sorry this happened to her. Hopefully she can shut down the credit card used to buy them as fraud.

Good Morning,
I forgot to mention I spoke with Diane. She is not interested in the computer. Only the cards and the pencils. We need to rid her of the dealing machine and the things she wants. Michael, would you be able to pick those up from her house before January 8th? Mojo would like the dealing machine, but since he has a wife recovering from surgery plus is opening a new club, I think he’s tapped out. I don’t trust myself to carry the dealing machine.
She mentioned we may want to hold the meetings at Mojo’s new club. I told her we had discussed it at the meeting and that if she is willing, we would like to continue the Unit games at her club for 2023. She seemed very pleased to hear that.
If I think of anything else, I’ll let you know.
Dear Board,
I've successfully set up the accounts for sending email blasts to both
the unit and the district. I'll plan to send one a few days before each
Unit Game.
I can't "advertise" my club, but I can certainly mention it when I write
about the NAP District Final. :)
P.S. I'm using this email address more often, but all of my old
addresses will always work.
(Like the new signature line?)
Mojo

We're fine with a 1:00 p.m. start time. Because of BBO bridge, we could
never play the Afternoon hands. We're playing the REDZ hands, that are
made for late afternoon games east coast, and afternoon games west coast.
Basically any start time is fine.
I'd like to add that I'm hoping to train or encourage someone else to
direct the Unit Games, so I can give my wife a little time. No huge
rush, I'll make sure they're well cared for in any case.

I changed the time of the meeting, but I have no confidence that it will be set for 3:30. Since Mary and I have doctor appointments and will be rushing to get there on time, and Lisa is not available until 3:30, if the meeting I scheduled still posts 11:00 PM, Mojo, could you please takeover and arrange for us to meet on your site at 3:30? Thanks so much.
