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.

I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
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. :)

Hi, everyone,
I just got this from Kathy Cresto, and I have a concern… every month I seem to have an error with the unit game dates, and it’s a little embarrassing. Before we added a second game each month it was very easy - always the first Sunday of the month, unless something special was happening.
So… whoever is in charge of our schedule, can you please help me out?
Also, can someone confirm Kathy’s request? Should the dates be changed that she is requesting?
Roy

Greetings, one and all,
I would like to call a board meeting October 6th at 1:00 for the board.
Thanks so much. I’ll be sending out the notice shortly. Thanks.

Face-to-face bridge is alive and well! I have two classes of beginning
bridge students, each one has 17 students. We're having some "supervised
play" sessions on Friday evenings at the Arcadia Bridge Center, and
hopefully this group will help revive the Saturday morning rookie game
at the Bridge Center.
I know games are coming alive at Valley Hunt Club and other private
clubs around Pasadena. I really love playing and teaching in person, and
it warms my heart.
Our twice-monthly Sunday unit games have been well attended, with ten
tables at both games in September.
On September 11, NS winners were *Carolyn Cohe*n and *Stephen Licker*.
EW winners *Arthur and Dominique Moore*. On September 25, NS winners
were *Fredy and Lulu Minter*. EW winners *Ming Hu and Sherry Warmuth*.
Online we still have an active player group with five games a week,
pooling with the Santa Clarita, Glendale, Pomona, and Downey units. You
can find our game schedule at https://bridgemojo.com/unit556
Congratulations to new Club Masters *Linda Carter*, *Beth Hollande*r,
and *Stuart Soldate*. New Bronze Life Master is *Nancy Nakanishi*.
Special congratulations to new Gold Life Master *Marilyn Kogan*!
For October, our unit games are scheduled for October 9 and 23. Dates
for November haven't yet been set, but we may hold a game during the
STaC week on November 6. As always, our space at the Bridge Center is
quite limited, so *reservations are required* to attend the unit games.
Call Miriam Harrington to reserve your seat at (626) 232-0558.
Our October game conflicts with the NAP District Final, but if you
qualified I hope to see you in Long Beach. I won't be playing in the
game this year, but I'll be there to get Brandon started. Then I'll be
driving back to Arcadia to direct the unit game, and back to Long Beach
to finish up later. It'll be a long day, but a worthy one!

*Save the date!* Our unit is going to have a good old-fashioned holiday
bridge game and party on *December 11* at the Arcadia Community Center.
It's a traditional event for our unit, and a great opportunity to
reconnect with honored partners and opponents. I'll have more
information in the November and December Bridge News.
