I thought it'd be worthwhile to provide everyone with a copy of the ACBL
Codification that covers the organization and operation of Units, and
the relationship between a Unit and the ACBL.
Here are the relevant pages from the Codification.
It's a huge document, but so many details are found there when looking
for something organizational related.
I do not have a copy of the unit by-laws. (They might be on Roy's web
site, I haven't looked yet.)

Can you make the meeting? :)

I found this message in the moderation queue for the mailing list. It
came from 6263409575(a)vzwpix.com which I presume is Roy Wilson's cell phone.
So Roy must have sent it using his SMS text message app. Which Verizon
attempted to convert into an email, with the text of the message
attached to the email.
Since it didn't arrive from a recognized email address, I lost track of
it 'til just now.
Here's the message:
Hi,
First, my thanks to all of you who continue to serve on our unit board.
And next, as your webmaster, I would like to continue to be included
in board communications so I can make any announcements you consider
worthy of announcement. Of course, please tell me, too, if
something is still too early to announce. I am very happy to help
in anyway I can.
I know you will be electing officers soon, and that's something I
would like to announce, so let me know as soon as you can.
I have a suggestion for the new board to consider:
Long ago, when we had about 800 members, it was very easy to get 12
players willing to serve on the board, but now we are down to 357
members and every month it drops again.
I suggest that the board amend the bylaws and define a full board as
eight members, which is the current membership.
Further, although the Arcadia Bridge Center has a separate website
which I created, Diane seldom asks for any changes. Our new club in
Pasadena has its own website and announcements are made there, but
if it would help, I would be happy to include announcements on the
unit site as well.
(Perhaps the best way to do that, Mojo, would be for you to create a
page on your club website and then we put a link on the unit page.)
Roy Wilson
Best regards,
Mojo

Yesterday Jan raised the possibility of holding the March 12 Unit Game
at the Pasadena Bridge Club. It would be the annual meeting, officer
elections, and a pizza party. Having Blaze Pizza downstairs makes it
kind of easy to bring in hot fresh pizza.
If this is something to be discussed, I need it to be considered
quickly. I have to write the unit column for the Bridge News today. Not
that many people read that, but it's certainly part of getting the word out.
FYI my whole mindset has changed since opening the bridge club. I didn't
know how things would turn out. I'd love to host any of the unit games.
Best regards,
Mojo

Correction to be introduction and election of board members.

*Important location change for the March 12 Unit Game*: This game will
include our annual meeting, with the introduction and election of new
board members. We also have a bridge game and lunch, and the Pasadena
Bridge Club location just above Blaze Pizza makes it easy to offer fresh
hot pizza before the game.
Make plans to come to the *Pasadena Bridge Club, 649 N Fair Oaks Ave.
#201, Pasadena*, for a pizza feast, snacks, and unit championship
competition.
There's not a lot of signage for the club, but it's easy to find when
you know where it is. The club is in the Fair Oaks Renaissance Center,
along with Vallarta Supermarket, Blaze Pizza, and a Starbucks coffee.
The club is just above Blaze Pizza. Park anywhere in the shopping
center, look for the (non-working) clock tower between Vallarta and
Blaze, and the door to the club is right there. Elevator access is easy.
More is at https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/location/
The March 26 Unit Game will also be a *Sectional Tournament at Clubs
game*, with silver points available, and possible big awards joined with
other clubs. This game will be at the *Arcadia Bridge Center*, 333 N
Santa Anita Ave., Arcadia.
*Reservations are required* for all unit games! Please contact Miriam
Harrington, (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com.
The beginning bridge classes continue to bode well for the future of
bridge. I have 5-1/2 tables each in a Bridge Basics 1 class on Thursday
mornings, and Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding on Wednesday evenings.
*New course coming up* on Thursday evenings *Defense *starting on March
9. The course runs for eight Thursday evenings from 7-9 p.m., and costs
$130, which includes the text book. This is a fascinating and important
course that will change the way you look at a bridge hand! Sign up by
dropping at email to me at mojo(a)pasadenabridgeclub.com.
The February Unit Games were very well attended, with ten tables on
Superb Owl Sunday (hoot!) and 12 tables on the 26th. Here are the
winners in each direction:
Febuary 12:
N/S: *Timothy and Eileen Finlay*
E/W: *Karen Arase* and *Gitta Earll*
February 26:
N/S: *Peter Szecsi* and *Amr Elghamry*
E/W: *Fredy Minter* and *Lulu Minter*
Congratulations this month to new Club Master *Terre Osterkamp*, and new
Sectional Master *Ming Hu*. Well done!
