I love a good Arnold Palmer. I made it a point
to have an iced tea and lemonade dispenser in
the club when we opened.
Well the tea machine didn't work very well, and
Park's Coffee replaced it with another machine,
but ultimately they've taken all of those
products off their catalog.
For quite a while, the lemonade has been so
weak it wasn't really drinkable. Park's sent a
tech out to adjust the machine, and it's
pretty good now. I have one more refill of
lemonade to serve. Help yourself! I'll be
looking for another tea/lemonade solution
sometime!
ACBL Wide Charity Game #2
This game raises money for ACBL charities, and
it features big masterpoint awards and a
delightful analysis booklet with all of the
hands from the game reviewed and analyzed.
The game will be Wednesday, April 16 (a week
away). Card fee will be $13.
Special feature for the Friday
Social/Supervised play session at 3:00,
I'll have the hands from the charity game
available to play, along with the expert
analysis!
Sale on 5-game tickets
Let's have a spring sale! Starting April 15,
until April 30, 5-game tickets will be on sale
for $55 (instead of $60). Punches are good for
any regular Open Pairs game, or the Tuesday and
Saturday 299er Pairs.
Bridge Classes This Week
Two Over One Game Force starts this week
on Wednesday evening! Come level-up your bidding
to the most popular system played in our club
and tournaments everywhere. Sign up
here.
If you see a topic for a class that interests
you, you can always drop in for a single class
for $25 without committing to an entire course.
Mojo's pick for this week: Wednesday at
3:00 PM we'll be practicing all of the big
popular conventions: Stayman, Jacoby Transfer
Bids, strong 2-Club openers, and a little slam
bidding. It's great getting to practice them all
in a concentrated setting.
This week's classes:
- Wednesday, April 9, 3:00 PM Bridge
Basics 3 - Popular Conventions "Practice
Hands"
- Wednesday, April 9, 7:00 PM Two Over One
Game Force "Introduction"
- Wednesday, April 10, 7:00 PM Bridge
Basics 1 - Introduction "One Notrump
Openings and Responses"
Every Saturday morning at 9:30, we have a free
workshop using a hand from Eddie Kantar's Thinking
Bridge series. Every entertaining hand
teaches players how to think about problems in
bidding, play, and defense.
Coming up ...
We're going to have a full week of Club
Championship games at the Open Pairs sessions
Monday through Saturday, April 21-26. I'm
planning to hold a week of Club Championships
every two months during the last week of the
month.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
