The
Pasadena Bridge Club has been in the works since 2020,
and is finally coming to be. We found a fabulous location on North
Fair Oaks Ave. at Orange Grove with lots of parking (free), great
food choices right there, and a beautiful playing area.
We're working on furnishings, decorating, and scheduling. I'm
planning to offer classes three sessions a week, on a staggered
rotation.
Bridge - Introduction will be offered on Wednesday
evenings, starting January 11.
Play of the Hand will start
on Thursday evenings, January 12.
Improving Your Judgment -
Opening the Bidding will start on Saturday mornings, January
14.
There will be games for 0-300 players on Monday evenings and
Saturday afternoons (at least) along with social bridge and
supervised play sessions.
The grand opening party will be at noon on Saturday, January 7, with
a game at 1:00 p.m., Open and 299er pairs. The web site is live at
https://pasadenabridgeclub.com
and I'll be working to fill in details over the next few weeks.

Finally, I'll mention that the 2023
Aileen Osofsky ACBL Goodwill
Member of the Year is yours truly, Morris "Mojo" Jones. I'm
surprised and deeply honored. I know of so many member volunteers
who give tirelessly to support our game that I never imagined I
might be considered for such an award, much less win the
designation. I'm touched and proud. Thank you. :)
