All, please proofread for corrections and (especially) omissions ... Pasadena San Gabriel Unit 559
Face-to-face bridge is alive and well! I have two classes of
beginning bridge students, each one has 17 students. We're having
some "supervised play" sessions on Friday evenings at the Arcadia
Bridge Center, and hopefully this group will help revive the
Saturday morning rookie game at the Bridge Center.
I know games are coming alive at Valley Hunt Club and other private
clubs around Pasadena. I really love playing and teaching in person,
and it warms my heart.
Our twice-monthly Sunday unit games have been well attended, with
ten tables at both games in September.
On September 11, NS winners were Carolyn Cohen and Stephen
Licker. EW winners Arthur and Dominique Moore. On
September 25, NS winners were Fredy and Lulu Minter. EW
winners Ming Hu and Sherry Warmuth.
Online we still have an active player group with five games a week,
pooling with the Santa Clarita, Glendale, Pomona, and Downey units.

Congratulations to new Club Masters Linda Carter, Beth
Hollander, and Stuart Soldate. New Bronze Life Master
is Nancy Nakanishi. Special congratulations to new Gold Life
Master Marilyn Kogan!
For October, our unit games are scheduled for October 9 and 23.
Dates for November haven't yet been set, but we may hold a game
during the STaC week on November 6. As always, our space at the
Bridge Center is quite limited, so reservations are required
to attend the unit games. Call Miriam Harrington to reserve your
seat at (626) 232-0558.
Our October game conflicts with the NAP District Final, but if you
qualified I hope to see you in Long Beach. I won't be playing in the
game this year, but I'll be there to get Brandon started. Then I'll
be driving back to Arcadia to direct the unit game, and back to Long
Beach to finish up later. It'll be a long day, but a worthy one!
