Please review for mistakes and omissions. I really forgot who's on and
off the board, so help me out with that.
Tom, this will no doubt be revised ... I'm working a bit from memory ...
especially on the incoming and outgoing board of directors.

So much news!
A new Unit Board has been elected. Departing the board are Jan
Wickersham, Mary Falvey, and Roy Wilson. Joining the board is Angela Peters.
Our new board includes President Lisa Walker, Vice-President Richard
Halverstadt, Secretary Linda Stuart, and Treasurer Miriam Harrington,
plus members Morris Jones, Kathy Cresto, and Michael Rodrigues.
At the first meeting of the new board, we made plans to split the
monthly Unit Games between the Pasadena Bridge Club and the Arcadia
Bridge Center. Unit Game dates will be as follows, with all games
starting at 12:30 p.m.:
* April 9, Pasadena Bridge Club (yes, Easter)
* April 23, Arcadia Bridge Center
* May 7, Pasadena Bridge Club
* May 21, Arcadia Bridge Center
* June 4, Pasadena Bridge Club
* June 18, Arcadia Bridge Center
The board is discussing not serving lunch at the Unit Games. If you have
an opinion one way or the other, please let a board member know!
In March our Unit Games were 12 tables on March 12, and 13 tables for
the STaC game on March 26. Here are winners North-South and East-West
for each game:
* March 12 N-S Madhu Sudan - Stan Majcher
* March 12 E-W Joel Schiff - Jan Wickersham
* March 26 N-S Gregory Tapia - Hanna Zhuang
* March 26 E-W Dan Lubesnik - Amr Elghamry
As always, for the Unit Games, space is somewhat limited, and
reservations are kindly requested! Contact Miriam Harrington to reserve
seats, (626) 232-0558, and miratpf(a)aol.com.
The Mini-McKenney awards go to unit members accumulating the most
masterpoints in 2022. Ace of Clubs is awarded to that player who wins
the most in club games (not tournaments). (There were no members in the
7500-10,000 category this year.) The awards in each category go to:

We've had some unfortunate instances of anger and provocation at the
bridge table during Unit Games recently, and the unit board will be
emphasizing our Zero Tolerance Policy for such actions. It's important
to know that there are no warnings, and the tournament director is the
sole judge for applying penalties.
Finally, I'm saddened to note the sudden and unexpected passing of one
of the stalwarts at the bridge table in our unit, Arthur Moore. Arthur
was a formidable competitor at the table, and a Sapphire Life Master.
I'll miss seeing his name at the top of the leader board for the unit
games, and join with everyone in the unit to offer comfort and support
to his widow Dominique Moore.
In Arthur's honor, the Unit Game on April 23 will be named the Arthur
Moore Open Pairs.
