Here are the overall STaC results for Sunday afternoon. It was a small
day for the STaC, only 36 tables playing Open Pairs games (of which we
provided 16):

Roy, you'll want to provide this link on the Unit web page.
These results will not appear on The Common Game:
1. This was a Unit 559 game (club 905596) which doesn't (yet) have a
sanction with The Common Game
2. I'm not a designated director with TheCommonGame or ACBL for the San
Marino Bridge Club
3. It doesn't make sense to post it under the San Marino Bridge Club,
and the club number wouldn't match anyway
4. These are not TheCommonGame hands, they're Western Conference STaC hands
5. Exactly the same data, albeit in not as nice a format (IMHO), is
available from ACBL Live for Clubs
For future unit games I'll have to do some administration work to get
the Unit sanctioned with The Common Game for twice-monthly games. Those
game results will /not /appear on the San Marino Bridge Club results page.
Here is the Unit 559 results page on ACBL Life for Clubs:

Tom, I sent this to the Unit Board for proofreading, but I'm not
anticipating any edits. Not a lot o' news. :)

At least for a while, people were coming back to play in the unit game!
Our November game on the 14th reached capacity at the Bridge Center with
15 tables. Overall winners were Fredy and Lulu Minter, with Paul Nason
and John Villalobos taking second both in the N/S section.
We'll have a single Unit game on Sunday, December 12. We're planning to
make it a little more festive, with a traditional holiday lunch of
pizza. :) Reservations and proof of COVID vaccination are required! Call
Miriam Harrington for reservations at (626) 232-0558.
Online club games continue six days a week in combination with five
other nearby units. Drop in at bridgemojo.com and click "Games" for the
full schedule.
Last week we were delighted to report Lulu Minter's change in rank, this
week Fredy joins in climbing the ladder as a new Ruby Life Master.
Congratulations!

Hi, everyone,
I have a proposal which should be very inexpensive.
Every month Marie and I get a membership report from the ACBL. Part of that information is the names of new players who have joined our unit and also the names of players who have transferred into our unit. You can imagine how difficult it might be for these players to find a new partner. I propose that we appoint someone as Ambassador to contact them and offer to play with them as a means to help them find a regular partner. The cost? How about we pay the Ambassador’s card fees? Or, we might ask Diane if she would be willing to waive the cost. Would it be too much to offer a free play one time for the new player?
I have a person in mind, too. Gloria Rommel has been a member of our unit for over 25 years, but shortly after she became a Life Master she quit playing. She never lost her interest, though, and has recently returned to the game as a fill-in at the Bridge Center. I asked if she would be willing to take this position and she was enthusiastic about it. Are we? Aye or Nay?
I vote aye.

I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Great!
I’m glad to see that everyone thinks it’s a good idea!
I will let Gloria know that the position is approved, and will send her telephone numbers of new players and transfers each month. I think she should give us a report occasionally, too.
Thank you!
Roy
