News from
N Fair Oaks

It's been an amazing few days in Chicago, and I'm writing this as I wait for the first leg of the trip home.

To see what it's like to visit an NABC, I shot a little two-minute walkthrough on Saturday: https://youtu.be/HbHg4KDrUXY

Last night was also the award dinner for the ACBL Goodwill Committee, and it's written up in today's tournament Daily Bulletin: https://cdn.acbl.org/nabc/2023/02/bulletins/db5.pdf

To my right in the photo is Bronia Jenkins, the ACBL's rock star new executive director.

I even got to play bridge all day Wednesday with Brenda Egeland who created RSVPBridge. It was a chance to lobby for some new features. We also had a great time playing bridge!

New courses week!

This is the week we start Defense, Two Over One Game Force, and Competitive Bidding courses. They're dynamite courses each.

With all of our courses you are always welcome to try the first class with no obligation. If you're not sure it's for you, give it a try and see!

Saturday Workshop and Game

The subject this Saturday is "Corrective vs. Forward Going bids." If it sounds a little obscure, don't worry! It's a common misunderstanding at the table, and we can help clear things up.

Saturday at 1:00 PM, followed by a 12-board game for 299ers.

Coming Up ...

Our next Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction course will also be in the PCC Extension catalog. It will be on Thursday evenings starting August 31. Save the date!

Thanks so much to Paula Olivares and Zachary Vedro for covering the games and classes last week!
