New Year's Eve was a wonderful party! Of the
eight teams we put together for the game, five
had no players over 100 masterpoints!
The second place team included four players who
have not yet achieved Junior Master status.
Congratulations to Fred Register, Leslie Klein,
William Snyder, and Yuriko Bonds.
As often happens in a team tournament in the
"swiss" format, it's possible for every team to
earn some masterpoints, since a win or a tie
will be awarded. Indeed, in Sunday's event no
one went home empty-handed.

Sorry, Partner Club Kvell
If you haven't yet picked up on the
entertaining bridge podcast Sorry,
Partner, it's a delightful way to pass
time on a drive or treadmill session, or
whatever!
One of the new features of the show is "Club
Kvell," in which players dish about their local
bridge club. https://sorrypartner.com/club-kvell
I could make a submission for my favorite club,
of course, but then I'd just be boastful. I bet
you could make a great submission for the
feature and let them know about your favorite
bridge club (whichever one that might be!).

Our new window sign is coming tomorrow! I'm
shopping for a PA system for the main room, and
a small one for the class room.
I have an almost-new fast HP LaserJet
printer, black and white, that needs a new
home. Would you like a great B&W printer?
$100 takes it away.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
