Well here I am in an airport lounge writing a
column for the Bridge News. We're all running behind. 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know that my email reflector for unit559board is out of
date, and so is my own memory of what the changes were.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.
