All unit games are "unit championships." They use the term
interchangeably. They're nothing different.

Do you want to mention each of the unit games this month are
championship games?

Pasadena San Gabriel Unit 559
December featured a great holiday party at the Arcadia Community
Center with 13 tables and a fabulous taco buffet. Desserts and drinks
were wonderful! We held a STaC game, with tons of masterpoints awarded
in black, silver, red, and gold
Winners at the holiday party:
* N/S: Stan Majcher, Madhu Sudan
* E/W: Adam Barron, Sherry Hansen
The unit also graciously sponsored a New Year's Eve swiss team
tournament on December 31. We had eight teams play -- five of the
teams had no player over 100 masterpoints! For the vast majority of
the room it was their first team tournament, and they all did
splendidly. Indeed the 2nd place finisher had a team of players none
of whom were yet Junior Masters! Congratulations to Fred Register,
Leslie Klein, William Snyder, and Yuriko Bonds!
Placing first at the New Year's Eve tournament were Roy Wilson, Gloria
Rommel, Angela Peters, and Ray Boncato.
For the first three months of 2024 our unit games will be held on the
1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. The first Sunday will be at the
Pasadena Bridge Club, and the third at the Arcadia Bridge Center.
Please make reservations for the unit games on the 7th or 21st by
contacting Miriam Harrington, (626) 232-0558, or miratpf(a)aol.com.
Congratulations to the following players for achieving new ranks in
the ACBL!
* New Sectional Masters: Hsing Fang, Uma Shrivastava
* New Regional Master: Patricia Staub
* New Adv NABC Master: Nina Huang
New courses starting at the Pasadena Bridge Club this month:
* Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction, January 10
* Introduction to Declarer Play, January 11
* Introduction to Defense, January 6

Word has it that Nina Huang earned enough silver points in a STaC game
at the Pasadena Bridge Club to earn her Life Master certificate! We'll
be celebrating that officially next month I'm sure.
The unit is reviving the "unit directory" of players and contact
information, but we're only including players who are opting in to
being listed. Most of you receive an email with the opt-in form
recently, or you can find a copy at either bridge club. If you would
like other players in the unit to be able to contact you for a game,
be sure to fill out one of the forms.
President Lisa Walker is also making preparations for unit board
elections in March, and updates to the unit by-laws. Give her letter a
read when you can.
