Pasadena San Gabriel Unit July was busy for me! Besides the Bridge Week Regional in Long Beach, I spent nine days in Chicago at the convention for the American Bridge Teachers Association, and five nice days of bridge play at the North American Bridge Championships. Back at home, we revived the unit Over/Under game after an absence of quite a while. The game is now the Peter Szecsi Memorial Over/Under game, and we had twenty pairs of veteran players with rookie partners. I was pleased to see that everyone seemed able to share the joy of the game with all its foibles. Winners N/S were Julianne Curry with Dennis Semain. Winners E/W and first overall were Nava Grutman with Robert Shore. Special thanks to Richard Halverstadt and Kathy Cresto who coordinated the event, produced fliers and publicity, and invited veterans to play. They made it easy to run a smooth game and provide a good experience for our players. Unit Games in August will be held on Sunday, August 6, at the Pasadena Bridge Club, and August 20, at the Arcadia Bridge Center. For both games, doors open at 12:00 noon, and game starts at 12:30 PM. Reservations are required! Contact Miriam Harrington for reservations: (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com. Bridge Basics I - Introduction will start again at the Pasadena Bridge Club, this time on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM. The first of six classes meets on August 31. Visit https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/available_courses for information on that and other courses coming up. Congratulations to our unit members moving up in the ACBL player ranks!
