I would like to have a recap of the Holiday Party and discuss a few pressing items after the event. I realize this is an extremely busy time of year for everyone. I’m hoping Thursday, December is doable. I will have to make it for 3:00 PM as I have a doctor’s appointment that day earlier. Let me know if you can’t attend. I’ll send the invite once we are sure of a date. Thanks.

Hi Gang,
I just heard from La Salle. It’s a no, but not for the reasons I was expecting. They are renovating the Dining Hall at that time. It could be possible for next year. Karmen has a source she’s investigating, and I’ll keep you posted. If anyone has any more ideas, please let Lisa or me know.
Thanks so much.

I was able to have all 27 tables removed from San Marino last Thursday, and they are safely stored at Linda Stuart’s. I am so grateful for her gracious offer to store them for us.

Could you all reply choosing one of these two? Jan and I believe more players would favor a STaC game than an NAP qualifier, but it's also the final weekend for players to qualify for the NAP.
(A) Let's play a STaC game and award silver points! Could be big overalls (Western Conference)
(B) Let's play an NAP qualifier and award half-red points! Last chance :)
Best regards,
Mojo

Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
*Holiday Bridge Party* December 11, 12:30 p.m. lunch, with a big Royal
STaC bridge game to follow!
Everyone from District 23 is invited to come celebrate the season and
play for black, silver, red, and gold masterpoints!
Space is limited! Seats are $35 per player, which includes our fabulous
lunch and a great card game.
All the information and where to get reservations at this link:
https://bridgemojo.com/holiday-party-2022 Write or call Miriam
Harrington, (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com.
The *Pasadena Bridge Club* has been in the works since 2020, and is
finally coming to be. We found a fabulous location on North Fair Oaks
Ave. at Orange Grove with lots of parking (free), great food choices
right there, and a beautiful playing area.
We're working on furnishings, decorating, and scheduling. I'm planning
to offer classes three sessions a week, on a staggered rotation. /Bridge
- Introduction/ will be offered on Wednesday evenings, starting January
11. /Play of the Hand/ will start on Thursday evenings, January 12.
/Improving Your Judgment - Opening the Bidding/ will start on Saturday
mornings, January 14.
There will be games for 0-300 players on Monday evenings and Saturday
afternoons (at least) along with social bridge and supervised play sessions.
The grand opening party will be at noon on Saturday, January 7, with a
game at 1:00 p.m., Open and 299er pairs. The web site is live at
https://pasadenabridgeclub.com and I'll be working to fill in details
over the next few weeks.
*Unit Game winners* from November: The Nov. 6 game was a STaC game. N/S
winners were *Peter Szecsi* and *Amr Elghamry*, E/W going to *Adam
Barron* and *Sherry Hansen*. Peter and Amr placed 2nd Overall in Flight
A in the STaC, and Adam and Sherry were 1st Overall in Flight B for big
masterpoint wins!
November 20 we had a great turnout with ten tables. N/S winners were
*Joan Mesias* and *Jeanette Deverian*, with E/W going to *Robert Shore*
and *Kevin Lane*.
Congratulations to new Junior Masters *Angelica Clark* and *Barbara
Way*, new Silver Life Master *Mark Gersh*, new Ruby Life Master *Mindy
Golden*, and new Gold Life Master *Zachary Vedro*. Zach, by the way, is
my partner and co-founder of the Pasadena Bridge Club. :)
Finally, I'll mention that the 2023 *Aileen Osofsky ACBL Goodwill Member
of the Year* is yours truly, Morris "Mojo" Jones. I'm surprised and
deeply honored. I know of so many member volunteers who give tirelessly
to support our game that I never imagined I might be considered for such
an award, much less win the designation. I'm touched and proud. Thank
you. :)

Someone at phone number (626) 353-3401 sent a text message to this list,
as follows:
"Hi Miriam I will be coming to the Christmas party. "
Using your phone's TXT messaging service to send an email is not usually
very successful. I have no idea who it came from.
Cheers,

Hi, all,
If we are going to continue sending unit-wide emails, we need to renew the funds in our account with the ACBL. The more credits we purchase the bigger the discount, but I think $100 will last us a long time.
Can I please get a vote, and if everyone agrees I will purchase the credits and ask Miriam for reimbursement.
Below is the website's purchase page, and you can see we are getting low.

Hi,
I have sent an invitation to our Holiday party to all the members in district 23. There were more than 2000 members, but I doubt they will all show up. (And I did send the correct date!) I didn’t check, but an email this large is probably about $60, so at some point the board will need to put some more money in the account.
Roy
I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Thanks so much for the email Roy! I think people will figure out that
our unit party is on the 11th, not the 6th. :)
I don't think it's worth sending a correction.

Dunno how accurate the information is, but Mark Hartzell sez that our Holiday party could also be part of another Royal STaC, which starts on December 5.
Can we have a discussion or vote on being included? I vote yes, let’s /e included.

Darn…. I just updated our website and once again we have lost members. I cannot remember the year, perhaps 10 or more, but I recall that we once had almost 800 members in our unit. The latest number is 357. Sigh.
Mojo, can you please add Mike Marcucci to this mailing list? As our Unit Historian I believe he should be included. nstarmgm(a)att.net

Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
*Important schedule change for the November Unit Games!*
We wanted to take advantage of the fall STaC tournament running Oct. 31
through Nov. 6, so we're moving the Sunday Unit Games to *November 6 and
20 *this month. Especially for these games, be sure to reserve your seat
with Miriam Harrington before the game! Our space is limited. Call
Miriam at (626) 232-0558.
*Save the date!*
Our unit is reviving the traditional Holiday Party and bridge game on
*December 11*. We'll have lunch, and a great bridge game at the Arcadia
Community Center. We're happy to welcome visitors from anywhere in
District 23.
Winners in October ... well how about that, the same pairs won both games:
October 9 AND October 23:
* N/S: Peter Szecsi, Amr Elghamry
* E/W: Arthur and Dominique Moore
Our next round of beginning bridge classes will be starting after the
first of the year. They'll be on Wednesday evenings, starting January
11, offered through PCC Extension, and taught at Arcadia High School.
Keep it in mind for friends and family who might like to learn our game.
Lots of players climbing the rank ladders this month!
New Club Masters:
* Linda Carter
* Beth Hollander
* Stuart Soldate
New Bronze Life Master:
* Nancy Nakanishi
New Gold Life Master:
* Marilyn Kogan
Congratulations all!
Unit 559 currently has 359 active members. Wouldn't that be a fun group
for a holiday party! Make your plans now. :)
