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>
