I'm posting this now in anticipation of a
consensus, because I have a deadline. If it needs to
change, let's do it as soon as we can. :) If there are any
objections at all, we should postpone for another time.
PLEASE check for errors and omissions! What did I forget?

Pasadena San Gabriel
Important location change for the March 12
Unit Game: This game will include our annual meeting
and election of officers. We also have a bridge game and
lunch, and the Pasadena Bridge Club location just above
Blaze Pizza makes it easy to offer fresh hot pizza before
the game.
Make plans to come to the
Pasadena Bridge
Club, 649 N Fair Oaks Ave. #201, Pasadena, for a
pizza feast, snacks, and unit championship competition.
There's not a lot of signage for the club, but it's easy
to find when you know where it is. The club is in the Fair
Oaks Renaissance Center, along with Vallarta Supermarket,
Blaze Pizza, and a Starbucks coffee. The club is just
above Blaze Pizza. Park anywhere in the shopping center,
look for the (non-working) clock tower between Vallarta
and Blaze, and the door to the club is right there.
Elevator access is easy. More is at

The March 26 Unit Game will also be a
Sectional
Tournament at Clubs game, with silver points
available, and possible big awards joined with other
clubs. This game will be at the
Arcadia
Bridge Center, 333 N Santa Anita Ave., Arcadia.
Reservations are required for all unit
games! Please contact Miriam Harrington, (626) 232-0558 or
miratpf@aol.com.
The beginning bridge classes continue to bode well for the
future of bridge. I have 5-1/2 tables each in a Bridge
Basics 1 class on Thursday mornings, and Bridge Basics 2 -
Competitive Bidding on Wednesday evenings.
New course coming up on Thursday evenings
Defense starting on March 9. The course
runs for eight Thursday evenings from 7-9 p.m., and costs
$130, which includes the text book. This is a fascinating
and important course that will change the way you look at
a bridge hand! Sign up by dropping at email to me at
mojo@pasadenabridgeclub.com.
