We're taking reservations for our annual holiday party! We'll meet for a
fabulous tri-tip lunch catered by Stonefire Grill and bridge at the
*Arcadia Community Center* on *December 15*. The cost will be $30 per
player (same as last year!) for the fabulous meal and great bridge.
We'll be selling entries and taking reservations at the Pasadena Bridge
Club. You're welcome to pay using cash or a credit card, and
*reservations will only be accepted up until December 5*, so we can get
the count of attendees to the caterer. Lunch will be at 12:00 Noon, with
bridge to follow.
There's a fascinating phenomenon on the ridge of Mt. Wilson that's often
visible from our club. An artist and scientist collaborated on the
installation of a device using prisms and mirrors at the top of the 150
ft. solar observatory tower. The tower itself is always visible on the
ridge, looking like a white matchstick to the right of the big grey TV
towers.
The project is called Sunstar, and when it's active, the top of the
tower glows brightly with a particular color of sunlight. I've pointed
it out to players, thinking it was a reflection from the observatory
itself. The fact that it's an art/science installation is quite
delightful. If you Google for "mt wilson sunstar" you can find more
information about it.
Meanwhile, it's been a great month of bridge at the Pasadena Bridge
Club, with a couple of very well attended Unit Games, as well as the NAP
District Final hosted at the club.
We had 12 tables on October 20. Winners N/S were a tie: Karmen
Armoudjian with Jan Wickersham, tied with Yongkang Huang with Ming Hu.
E/W was won by Mark Peters and Sin Orensztein.
On November 3 we had 11 tables, N/S winners: Caryn Mason and Patrick
Finley. E/W winners: Paul Nason and Elliott Mazur.
Reservations are open for the November 17 and December 1 unit games.

classes using lesson material from Eddie Kantar on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, December 11-12 and 18-19. New courses will start up
