We have new signage in the works -- a decal for the lobby
door, a sign over the entrance doors, and hopefully a spot
on the "monument" signs by the street. We've talked about
putting something in the windows, but that might not be
effective -- and I don't want to interfere with the view
out. Suggestions welcome!
Robert Todd
Sunday May 14
This is a special treat. Robert is a
regular columnist in the Bridge Bulletin, and a speaker at
national and regional tournaments. He's also the current
president of the ACBL Educational Foundation.
I never miss an opportunity to spend time hearing Robert
talk about bridge. He has a knack for making complex
subjects understandable. (Maybe that's from his time spent
as a math professor!) He's based in Florida (Bridge
Central) so it's good to catch him on a west coast visit.
We get to spend a full day with Robert on Sunday May 14 at
the Pasadena Bridge Club. It's $90 invested in making your
bridge game more enjoyable and successful.
Drop me a note to save a seat for the day! The session
starts at 9:30 and finishes by 4:00. There will be plenty
of break time for lunch and socializing.
STaC results from the
week
I spoke to Arleen Harvey yesterday. She
was the Director in Charge for the Sectional Tournament
at Clubs that just finished up. There were some 97
bridge clubs participating (California, Nevada,
Washington, and British Columbia) and she said over
1,700 tables of bridge reported!
The overall results from each session
are found here: https://tournaments.acbl.org/schedule.php?sanction=2305508#schedule
The biggest surprise of the week for me
was the Sunday Afternoon Unit Game / STaC game, where Mark
Peters and Sin Orensztein had a remarkable
72.83% game, and it was only good enough for second
place in the conference!
Other big winners were Milt
Kalikman and Gitta Earll on Wednesday with
a 2nd overall finish.
