The Western Conference Sectional Tournament at
Clubs is over. Several of our players managed to
place in the tournament overalls in their
particular game.
Here's
where you can find the overall results for
each game.
Thursday Open Game Postponed
Unfortunately we've had to postpone the start
of our Thursday 11:00 Open Pairs game.
The original start date was September 7, and
the new start date will be October 5. I know a
lot of players are looking forward to the game,
as am I. We'll get it started soon!
We want to add more weekly games, of course. To
do that, we need players who are trained and interested
in becoming a director. Is that you? Let's
talk! There is no masterpoint requirement
to be a club director, but there is a test!
Last NAP Qualifier
Our Wednesday 11:00 AM Open Pairs this week
will be the final qualifier game for the North
American Pairs at our club.

session of any course for $25. Let me know
you're coming! Here are the topics at this
week's classes:
- Wednesday 7:00 PM Defense
"Developing Defensive Tricks"
- Thursday 7:00 PM Bridge Basics 1
"Introduction"
The Saturday workshop and game is back
this week! I'm starting a series on play of the
hand, with "taking tricks at notrump." We'll
have a 40 minute workshop followed by a 12-board
game.
On our YouTube channel this week, Double
finesses and a fun question from the
visitors.
Glendale Sectional
September 9-10, at the Pasadena Bridge
Club. This will be our first experience with
using the Community Room down the hall for ten
or so extra tables.
Space is still limited of course, and
reservations are required. Here's
an information page with a flier and the
link to register for one or more games. (Please
don't send reservations to me!)
Teacher training coming up
Become an accredited Better Bridge teacher!
We're hosting a two-day seminar by Denise
Hoffman on Thursday-Friday December 21-22.
By completing the seminar you'll be recognized
as an accredited teacher by the ACBL, and
eligible to be listed in the teacher directory.
It's a great credential to present to
organizations like college extension programs.
Possible Healthcare Benefit
If you're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage
plan, your plan may have a benefit of interest
to you. The ACBL has paired with Element3 to
reimburse your annual ACBL membership dues to
their customers who play bridge regularly.
To find out if you might be eligible, here's a
