Here's a draft column for the unit board to review. Tom if there are corrections,
I'll send an update. Dear board, please review for corrections and omissions!
I'm home from Providence, Rhode Island, where I spent two full weeks doing bridge
activities. (And came back healthy this time.)
The trip started with the first in-person meeting of the American Bridge Teachers
Association since Las Vegas 2019 (I'm currently their Recording Secretary). I
received my Master Teacher pin, and ABTA gave out awards for Teacher of the Year and Books
of the Year. If you're looking for a new bridge book, this is a great place to start.

Following was a ten-day binge of bridge, receptions, evening activities, and even a new
play called Bridge to Nowhere by playwright / bridge pro Adam Parrish.
If you have friends who have been thinking about learning the king of card games, there
will be new face-to-face classes for absolute beginners starting in September at Arcadia
Bridge Center on Saturday mornings and through Pasadena City College Extension on
Wednesday evenings. I'll update the schedule on https://bridgemojo.com/class as we
get closer to class dates.
In July we held two Unit Games, though the second game is happening just as this column
goes to press. Winners on July 17 were North/South A strat: Fredy Minter and Lulu Minter,
B strat Madhu Sudan and Stan Majcher; East/West A strat: Arthur Moore and Dominique Moore
in A (Overall winners), and B strat Miriam Harrington and Mark Hartzell.
Unit Game results can always be found on ACBL Live for Clubs by searching for "Unit
559," or bookmark this link for club results: https://my.acbl.org/club-results/905596
(ACBL promises that hand records will be included in the results after fixing some bugs.)
Congratulations to new Sectional Master Liza Billington. (I'm the proud teacher as
well.)
August Unit Games will be held on Sundays the 14th and 28th. Game time is 12:30 p.m. and
reservations are required. Contact MIriam Harrington to save a seat for your partnership
(626) 232-0558. (I'll suggest that we make those games NAP qualifiers instead of Unit
Championships.)
