Either of those options are okay with me. I think maybe October 8 and 15, back to back Sundays, might be the closest to keeping with the "1st and 3rd". <shrug>

Looks good MoJo. What date(s) are you suggesting for October Unit game? 2nd and 4th Sundays or 2nd and 3rd? We can discuss on September 11 Board meeting.

August is usually a quiet month at the bridge clubs, but it's been busy for me! We had three special games at the Pasadena Bridge Club on Wednesday mornings: two NAP Qualifiers, and one STaC game. Classes are going great, and a new session of Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction started on August 31.
When tropical storm Hilary passed through, we decided to postpone the August 20 Unit Game to August 27. The delay allowed us to turn the game into a Western Conference STaC game. That was truly a silver lining!
While I was in Florida for my dad's 90th birthday, Paula Olivares was kind enough to cover the Unit Game on August 6. We had eight tables, with winners:
- N/S Jeanette Deverian, Joan Mesias
- E/W Karen Arase, Gitta Earll
For the delayed August 27 STaC game at the Arcadia Bridge Center we had 11 tables. Winners were:
- N/S Joan Mesias, Jeanette Deverian (again!)
- E/W Amr Elghamry, Dominique Moore (72.81% game!)
Normally you would think a 72% game would be enough to win the event conference wide, but no! It was only good enough for 2nd place, losing to a well-known pair from the Beverly Hills Bridge Club. Still Amr and Dominique added 10.38 silver points to their considerable stash.
Unit Games for September will be held at the Pasadena Bridge Club on September 3, and the Arcadia Bridge Center on September 17. For reservations contact me or Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558, miratpf@aol.com.
The October Unit Games may need a shift in schedule, since the first Sunday, October 1, the Pasadena Bridge Club will be taken over by the District 23 North American Pairs Final tournament. Check the unit website http://www.acblunit559.com/ or the Pasadena Bridge Club site https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/ for updates.
Congratulations to our members reaching new ranks!
New Junior Master Suzanne Gati
New Club Master Derald Brackman
And special congratulations to newly minted Life Masters Prasad Upasani and Hanna Zhuang.
