It's been a long ordeal, and I'm truly seeing
the light at the end of the tunnel.
Probably the most frustrating thing is that the
clues were there quite a bit earlier than when
we finally discovered the pneumonia. All that
time I was told and thought I was "getting
better" in a normal process, I was actually
getting quite worse. But we did catch it,
finally.
I'm on the last day of my antibiotics. Today I
had the energy to start doing more. I've been
walking the treadmill for three minutes every
hour, and have stamina to get lots of
administrative things done for the Sectional,
the District NAP, and of course the club.
My wonderful friends and partners are barring
me from leaving home this week until Saturday.
We're going to hold every game and class though.
It will be great.
Support Alzheimer's Research on the Longest
Day
We've designated Wednesday, June 19, 11:00
AM Open Pairs to be our benefit game for
the Alzheimer's Association.
Card fees will be $11, with the extra going to
Alzheimer's.
North American Pairs Qualifiers
June, July, and August are when players get to
earn a qualification to play in the District
Final for the North American Pairs.
We're planning to hold qualifiers for one full
week in each of the three months.
Our first qualifier week will be all of the
Open Pairs games from June 24 - 29. I'm
adding five additional in July in the week
running up to the John Waken Pasadena Sectional.
We'll also have a week of qualifiers in August.
These are special games, that pay half-red,
half-black masterpoints, and lots of them. The
stratification is preset at Open/2500/500.
I'm close to finalizing the date of the
District Final. I'll let you know!
Classes this coming week
Let's meet class this week. I'm giving it a
try. These are the classes that were originally
scheduled last week. We have a week to get in
the sixth class of each of these courses during
the week after 4th of July (tournament) week.
Lisa Walker is going to cover the Thursday
2/1GF class, and I have someone special coming
to cover the class on Wednesday.
Here are the topics this week:
- Wednesday, 7:00 PM, class 4 of 6
Introduction to Declarer Play "The
trump suit, counting losers"
- Thursday, 7:00 PM, class 4 of 6 Two
Over One Game Force "The choice between
game and slam"
- Saturday, 9:30 AM, class 4 of 6 Bridge
Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding "The
Competitive Auction"
Coming up ...
Zachary and I are closing the bridge club for
three days, on July 2, 3, and 4, Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday, both so we can get a chance
to play in the regional ourselves, and to
encourage everyone with the time off to go enjoy
the big games. (And also enjoy the 4th of July
with family.)
The next Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction
is now open for enrollment on
the PCC Extension web site. The class will
meet on six Thursday evenings starting August 1.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
