I do not think that the Board wants to be running a club. It would require quite a bit of oversight and financial management. I would be opposed to that. If someone wants to come in and purchase it or take it over independently, that would be great but it requires a certain skill set and a desire to work many afternoons per week. It’s too bad because so many Unit members rely on it for their bridge game.
And I believe that MoJo had always planned to open his own bridge club regardless of whether Arcadia was there or not.
Well, it’s an interesting thought, Roy, but who would run it?

A bridge friend from the Long Beach club asked me a question concerning the closure of the Arcadia Bridge Center, and after a short discussion I decided to share it with the board.
Should the board consider asking Diane if she would donate her supplies to them and
the board would hire a director/manager to keep the club open?
Friends, I have no opinion on this, but it was an interesting question so I wanted to share it and let you consider it. I don’t think this is a unique idea, as I believe the Laguna Woods club is run this way, and there are probably others.

I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
