Happy New Year, Board!
Attached is an agenda for Monday’s meeting, as well as a letter for your comments and additions to send out to the whole Unit in the next week. We can discuss it on Monday.
Also, Miriam, I will need financials, and could you do a separate accounting for the Holiday Party so we can do a clear budget for next year. I will also need a check on Sunday to go to Arcadia and sign the contract for next December.
Don, if MoJo has the recording from last meeting, I will take care of it for you. Please do not worry about it at all.
See you all Monday evening.
Lisa,
Letter looks good.For the Agenda, I talked with you last month about adding a line item regarding a unit/board member becoming CPR/First Aid Certified.

Lisa, I have 72 players, one waiting, plus me, plus Michael Blottin and
Jane Winer. That's 75.
I'm hoping to find one player to partner with Linda Lucas. I might be
able to draft Jane Winer or possibly Jane Jones.

Since you're making the order tomorrow morning, I'm going to admit one
more table for Open Pairs. Adding the Klemens and Nina Huang and a partner.
I'd like to find a partner for Linda Lucas in the 299ers if I can. I
think I have some possibilities. We'll probably play 18 boards in the
299ers, a six-table Mitchell.

I have two sections for the Holiday Party, Eleven tables in Open, and
5.5 tables in 299er. I also have Linda Lucas looking for a partner.
While I was rearranging players into sections, I lost some "paid"
notifications. Dang!
I'll have to trust that a few people paid me already. I can remember a
few. Right now I show that I've collected 27 payments for $795, and I
think it should be closer to 33 paid to me.

I decided I'd draft and send an email to all of the 0-300 members in
District 23 to encourage sign ups for the holiday party 0-300 game.
Spent a few credits in the email account.
I thought I'd better just do it before we close sign-ups.
Cheers,
Mojo

Two things
I have a request from someone to come to play bridge but not have the luncheon. She is gluten free and highly allergic. I think we should allow her to come and just pay a card fee. How much should it be consideing we are renting space? Is this ok withbeveryone?
Also, Sherry is bringing coffee and supplies, Pat is bringing bottled water, i am bringing coolers. Who was bringing the soft drinks? I dontvwant to bother Don with the minutes as he has been in the hospital.
See younthere!

Lisa,
I agree on a reduced price for someone who can’t eat the lunch. Did we do an estimate of what the food will cost per person? It seems fair that the card fee without lunch might be higher than usual since we have to pay to rent the venue.
Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done other than arriving at 11:00 to get set up.

I think $15.00 is sufficient. Sherry,if you get the dairy creamers in addition to the coffee, tea bags and filters I will get the cups, stir sticks, coffee mate powder, sugars.

We're taking reservations for our annual holiday party! We'll meet for a
fabulous tri-tip lunch catered by Stonefire Grill and bridge at the
*Arcadia Community Center* on *December 15*. The cost will be $30 per
player (same as last year!) for the fabulous meal and great bridge.
We'll be selling entries and taking reservations at the Pasadena Bridge
Club. You're welcome to pay using cash or a credit card, and
*reservations will only be accepted up until December 5*, so we can get
the count of attendees to the caterer. Lunch will be at 12:00 Noon, with
bridge to follow.
There's a fascinating phenomenon on the ridge of Mt. Wilson that's often
visible from our club. An artist and scientist collaborated on the
installation of a device using prisms and mirrors at the top of the 150
ft. solar observatory tower. The tower itself is always visible on the
ridge, looking like a white matchstick to the right of the big grey TV
towers.
The project is called Sunstar, and when it's active, the top of the
tower glows brightly with a particular color of sunlight. I've pointed
it out to players, thinking it was a reflection from the observatory
itself. The fact that it's an art/science installation is quite
delightful. If you Google for "mt wilson sunstar" you can find more
information about it.
Meanwhile, it's been a great month of bridge at the Pasadena Bridge
Club, with a couple of very well attended Unit Games, as well as the NAP
District Final hosted at the club.
We had 12 tables on October 20. Winners N/S were a tie: Karmen
Armoudjian with Jan Wickersham, tied with Yongkang Huang with Ming Hu.
E/W was won by Mark Peters and Sin Orensztein.
On November 3 we had 11 tables, N/S winners: Caryn Mason and Patrick
Finley. E/W winners: Paul Nason and Elliott Mazur.
Reservations are open for the November 17 and December 1 unit games.
Contact Miriam Harrington, (626) 232-0558, miratpf(a)aol.com.
The Pasadena Bridge Club will be offering four single-topic bridge
classes using lesson material from Eddie Kantar on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, December 11-12 and 18-19. New courses will start up
in the first week of January, with Competitive Bidding and Play of the Deal.
Congratulations to our players reaching new ACBL master ranks! With the
new bridge news schedule, I'm going to congratulate both the November
and December updates. (Each update is posted on the 6th of the previous
month):
November:
* Club Master
o Kenneth Farhang
* Bronze Life Master
o Gloria Rommel
December:
* Club Master
o Susan Claster
o Fred Register
* Bronze Life Master
o Nina Huang
* Gold Life Master
o Dan Lubesnik
