One special rank change goes to Lulu Minter, our own newly-minted (so to
speak) Platinum Life Master. That's a big hill to climb! Congratulations
Lulu!
The online bridge clubs are going strong. We're enjoying our game pool
with Downey, Pomona, Glendale, and Santa Clarita units. The full
schedule of games is available at https://bridgemojo.com/unit556.
I'm starting new online bridge classes on Defense, November 1, and
Improving Your Judgment - Doubles, November 2. Both are probably a
little too soon for the bridge news, but you're welcome to join in for
the second class.
I've also been busy following my calling to teach newcomers and create
new players. My students are adults from the ACBL Intro to Bridge
course, and kids from the BridgeWhiz program. The players come from all
over North America, and my hope is that I can spark an interest that
flows into bridge at all levels someday.

I concur.
I did a test search on Google using "Pasadena Bridge Club" and the top result is in St. Petersburg, FL, but a few listings down is ACBL Unit 559, the Arcadia Bridge Center, below Claudia's weekly game at the Pasadena Senior Center. (I wonder if they're meeting?)
In any case, I see no need to keep the extra domain name.

Roy sent this message using his "TXT messaging" app on his phone,
instead of his email app, so it arrived like this. Forwarding on his

Hooray! ! !
Our unit website is back up, no thanks to Frontier. I had to find and
fix the problem they created myself.
