I know that my email reflector for unit559board is out of date, and so is my own memory of what the changes were. So I'm not catching all of the new board members. Please review my draft column below, help me out with who left and who joined the board, and at some point this week I'll also update the email reflector so the new members are in the list, and old ones taken off. It's been a weird and crazy month for me. Lew I need help from the unit board, I'll get this to you as soon as I can. Best regards, Mojo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I happy to see March behind me this year. I spent 10 days at the Reno NABC -- some of it playing, some of it "working." I gave a talk at the teacher's breakfast about teaching online, and even took along my equipment to teach some of my classes from the hotel room. Bridge wasn't great for me, and I managed to catch COVID. Rather than bring it home with me, I extended my stay at the Eldorado, and spent five days not leaving the room and eating drop-off room service. My symptoms included a day of a mild fever, and a runny nose that's still dragging on a bit. Nevertheless, eleven days after testing positive, I'm again testing negative, and I'm on my way to work a Sectional at Sea on the Regent Seven Seas Splendor, traveling from Miami to Barcelona. I have the weirdest luck and timing. At the March 13 Unit Game we held elections for unit board members. Our thanks to /(who?) /and /(who?)/ who are departing the board, and welcome to /(who?)/ and /(who?)/ who have volunteered to serve for the next two years. Our officers remain *Jan Wickersham* as President, I'm being relieved as Vice President by *Lisa Walker*, with Treasurer *Miriam Harrington* and Secretary *Linda Stuart*. Winners at the March 13 game were *Peter Szecsi* and *Amr Elghamry* N/S, *Arthur and Dominique Moore* E/W. The March 27 game is one I had to miss, not wanting to bring my COVID infection into the bridge club. We did have two players who tested positive shortly after playing on March 27. Winners at the March 27 Royal STaC game were *Patrick Cardulo* and *Carolyn Cohen* N/S, and *Arthur and Dominique Moore* E/W. I haven't yet seen updates for STaC-wide awards, but there was certainly a rainbow of point colors available for that game! We have unit games scheduled for Sundays at 12:30 on April 10 and April 24. Reservations are required! Contact Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558. Don't forget that proof of full vaccination is required, and honestly I think it'd be a good idea to wear a mask during the game. Don't go through what I had to go through! Rank changes for this month: New Club Master *Nina Huang*, and new Bronze Life Master *Michael Lo*. -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com/> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org/> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com/> _______________________________________________ Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com To unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com
