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?)

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.
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

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.

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. :)
