It was a lightly attended session throughout the conference, but our game contributed 16 tables out of 36 in play for Open Pairs. Arthur and Dominique Moore were the big winners, taking first place in the conference with a 68.85% game -- not a small feat in a 16-table 26-board game! Peter Szecsi and Amr Elghamry took second in our game, and third in the conference, with a 63.33% game. In January we have two Sunday afternoon Unit Games on the calendar: January 9 and 23. Hopefully these will take place as planned! Game time is 12:30 (not 1:00!), with reservations and proof of COVID vaccination required. For reservations, contact Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558. New Club Masters in the unit include Jonathan Fuhrman and Susan Kane (two of my students!), and new Bronze Life Master is John Horn from Glendora. Congratulations! The Unit 556+PPD virtual bridge club is still going strong with games every day but Saturday. I've turned day-to-day club management back over to Paula Olivares for a couple of months. The full game schedule is available at bridgemojo.com. I had a cruise scheduled for the second half of January, but I'm honestly hoping not to be on that particular trip. Instead maybe I'll see you on BBO or at the Unit Game. Those of you who qualified for the North American Pairs, see elsewhere in this issue and make plans for the District Final game on January 16. -- 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
