[Unit559board] DRAFT unit column for bridge news

Please review for corrections and omissions! What did I leave out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit Save the date! The unit *holiday party* will be held on *Sunday, December 10*, at the beautiful Arcadia Community Center. Lunch and dessert will be served. This year we're expecting delicious catering of tacos and treats, and we're lowering the cost to $30 per player. At this fee, the unit expects to spend a bit more than we'll take in, and that will be our holiday gift to the members. Of course there will be a bridge game, and it will be a Sectional Tournament at Clubs game! We'll be sending a flier for the holiday party with more information sometime in the next few weeks by email, and look for fliers posted at the Arcadia Bridge Center and the Pasadena Bridge Club. Advance ticket purchase and reservations are required, so we can plan how much food and beverage to provide. Miriam Harrington will be taking reservations, or talk to any board member. Our next unit games will be held on *November 5* at the Pasadena Bridge Club and *November 19* at the Arcadia Bridge Center. Game time is 12:30. Reservations are required! Contact Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com to reserve your seat.
