What about the upcomng STAC Games? On Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at 09:05:30 PM PDT, Morris Jones <mojo(a)bridgemojo.com> wrote: All, please proofread for corrections and (especially) omissions ... Pasadena San Gabriel Unit 559 Face-to-face bridge is alive and well! I have two classes of beginning bridge students, each one has 17 students. We're having some "supervised play" sessions on Friday evenings at the Arcadia Bridge Center, and hopefully this group will help revive the Saturday morning rookie game at the Bridge Center. I know games are coming alive at Valley Hunt Club and other private clubs around Pasadena. I really love playing and teaching in person, and it warms my heart. Our twice-monthly Sunday unit games have been well attended, with ten tables at both games in September. On September 11, NS winners were Carolyn Cohen and Stephen Licker. EW winners Arthur and Dominique Moore. On September 25, NS winners were Fredy and Lulu Minter. EW winners Ming Hu and Sherry Warmuth. Online we still have an active player group with five games a week, pooling with the Santa Clarita, Glendale, Pomona, and Downey units. You can find our game schedule at https://bridgemojo.com/unit556 Congratulations to new Club Masters Linda Carter, Beth Hollander, and Stuart Soldate. New Bronze Life Master is Nancy Nakanishi. Special congratulations to new Gold Life Master Marilyn Kogan! For October, our unit games are scheduled for October 9 and 23. Dates for November haven't yet been set, but we may hold a game during the STaC week on November 6. As always, our space at the Bridge Center is quite limited, so reservations are required to attend the unit games. Call Miriam Harrington to reserve your seat at (626) 232-0558. Our October game conflicts with the NAP District Final, but if you qualified I hope to see you in Long Beach. I won't be playing in the game this year, but I'll be there to get Brandon started. Then I'll be driving back to Arcadia to direct the unit game, and back to Long Beach to finish up later. It'll be a long day, but a worthy one! -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers Mojo's Blog _______________________________________________ Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com To unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com

I think we would get more interest with a stac game, so let's change the date. Also I think the unit should absorb the extra sanction fee expenses. -----Original Message----- From: Morris Jones <mojo(a)bridgemojo.com> To: unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com Sent: Fri, Sep 30, 2022 2:45 pm Subject: [Unit559board] Re: Pasadena San Gabriel Unit column The only STaC on the calendar for D23 runs Oct 31 - Nov 6. If we decide to move the Unit Game to Nov. 6, we can make it a STaC game. Extra sanction fee expense. (Charge more?)

I agree with moving the date! Sent from my iPhone

I’m in agreement as well. We can make it official at the board meeting this Thursday at 1:00. See you then.
