Running late, hoping Tom hasn't closed out his issue yet. :)
Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
Our December Unit Game was held on December 12, as a STaC game with
the Western Conference. 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.
