Jan's last meeting had an invalid link. I think this is the correct one: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82886228365?pwd=NkxHb1czMkw3SFN6ZEIyUGFIMm5tdz09 Mojo -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>

Draft: Bridge News column
by Morris Jones 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Comments, corrections, additions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit 559 Our semi-monthly Unit Games have continued to be popular. Winners this month: October 10: 1st: Arthur Moore and Dominique Moore 2nd: Fredy Minter and Lulu Minter October 24: 1st: Peter Szecsi and Amr Elghamry 2nd: Fredy Minter and Lulu Minter We have one Unit Game schedule for November on Sunday, November 14. Game time is 12:30 p.m. Reservations and proof of vaccination are required. For reservations contact Miriam Harrington miratpf(a)aol.com (626) 232-0558. You can send a photo of your vaccination card to Roy Wilson at unit559webmaster(a)gmail.com. Rank changes this month: Sectional Master: Julie Hanson; Regional Master: Michael Perera; NABC Master: Sarah Deschenes. 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. -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>

Hi, Over 20 years ago I built our website and registered it as ACBLunit559.com. I also registered it as ACBLunit559.org, so players could use either address, and also so nobody else could hi-jack the domain name of ACBLunit559. The cost to me each year is $15.00 each. Consider it a donation to the unit, and a thank you for letting me play free in unit games. (I am also the owner of the www.ArcadiaBridgeCenter.com, .org and .club.) However, after all this time, I no longer consider it important to keep the .org version and will abandoned it unless the board decides that it should be kept.

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