[Unit559board] Re: DRAFT Bridge News column

Please review for corrections and omissions (of which there will be many!) I think I might be missing some rank changes, but I could find all of these. ------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit Our first unit game of March is also our *annual membership meeting* and election of board members. That's Sunday, March 2. We'll be serving a pizza lunch from Blaze Pizza at noon, hold our meeting and elections, and follow that with bridge. We should be able to acknowledge our 2024 Mini-McKinney and Ace of Clubs winners as well. Our club was the closest club to the Eaton fire, and many, too many, of our regular players and students lost homes or have been otherwise displaced in the aftermath. It's been a struggle for all of us coping with loss or trying to support friends through their recovery. The attendance at the bridge club seems to be extra high this month, which just affirms the ability of bridge to provide connection, distraction, comfort, and community. It's good to share this time with our bridge playing friends. The Unit Games have been well attended. Here are winners from January and February: January 5, 11 tables: - N/S: Gary Moore, Gilbert Stinebaugh - E/W: Robert Shore, Bruce Altshuler January 19, the Elliott Mazur Open Pairs, 10.5 tables: - N/S: Karmen Armoudjian, Janet Wickersham - E/W: Zachary Vedro, Andy Rooke February 2, 10 tables: - N/S: Jeanette Deverian, Joan Mesias - E/W: Amr Elghamry, Dominique Moore Let's catch up on a couple months of rank changes.
