Important location change for the March 12 Unit Game: This game will include our annual meeting and election of officers. We also have a bridge game and lunch, and the Pasadena Bridge Club location just above Blaze Pizza makes it easy to offer fresh hot pizza before the game.
Make plans to come to the Pasadena Bridge Club, 649 N Fair Oaks Ave. #201, Pasadena, for a pizza feast, snacks, and unit championship competition.
There's not a lot of signage for the club, but it's easy to find when you know where it is. The club is in the Fair Oaks Renaissance Center, along with Vallarta Supermarket, Blaze Pizza, and a Starbucks coffee. The club is just above Blaze Pizza. Park anywhere in the shopping center, look for the (non-working) clock tower between Vallarta and Blaze, and the door to the club is right there. Elevator access is easy. More is at https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/location/
The March 26 Unit Game will also be a Sectional Tournament at Clubs game, with silver points available, and possible big awards joined with other clubs. This game will be at the Arcadia Bridge Center, 333 N Santa Anita Ave., Arcadia.
Reservations are required for all unit games! Please contact Miriam Harrington, (626) 232-0558 or miratpf@aol.com.
The beginning bridge classes continue to bode well for the future of bridge. I have 5-1/2 tables each in a Bridge Basics 1 class on Thursday mornings, and Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding on Wednesday evenings.
New course coming up on Thursday evenings Defense starting on March 9. The course runs for eight Thursday evenings from 7-9 p.m., and costs $130, which includes the text book. This is a fascinating and important course that will change the way you look at a bridge hand! Sign up by dropping at email to me at mojo@pasadenabridgeclub.com.
