Time for some news
It's almost opening day! We have people
reserving seats for the Grand Opening game and the North
American Pairs special event.
Students are getting ready for classes. Beginning bridge
at PCC Extension is nearly sold out!
Let me know
you're coming!
Reservations are open for all games
and classes -- drop me a note if you're planning to
play!
I'm using RSVPBridge for managing game
reservations. You can also use it to pay card fees in
advance if you like (with R-Bucks). When you first make a
game reservation, I'll create an account for you on
RSVPBridge. Each of the weekly events has its own RSVP
group, and you'll have the opportunity to join other game
groups.
Check our progress!
Zach and I have been putting the
finishing touches on the club. WiFi is up and speedy.
The board prep station has made its first set of boards
from The Common Game.
We will have fabulous refreshments
available. Check out the pictures at the web site!
We'll be serving complimentary coffee,
brewed hot tea, iced tea, finger snacks (Goldfish,
Peanut M&Ms, mixed nuts), and soft drinks.

the latest pics here.
Upgraded club
championships
Our first week of games,
Monday-Saturday January 9-14 will all pay upgraded black
masterpoints, courtesy of the ACBL.
It'll be a great week to get started on
the new "Ace of Clubs" award for 2023!
Seeking mentors
for supervised play
Do you get a kick out of helping out
new bridge players? On Thursday evenings and Saturday
mornings I'll be inviting my new bridge students (and
anyone else who likes) to come play bridge with friends
in an unstructured environment.
Your job as a volunteer mentor would be
to offer coaching and answer questions when
requested. (And to stay out of the way most of the
time!)
The only requirement is enthusiasm and
friendliness, plus a decent knowledge of Standard
American bidding and Chicago scoring.
For those willing to coach one of our
two-hour sessions, I'm offering free plays at a Pasadena
Bridge Club game.
COVID vaccinations
required
Club policy will mirror the ACBL
tournament policy. Before you come to play, send me a
picture of your vaccination card by email if you can.
RSVPBridge will keep a record, and you'll never have to
do it again at the Pasadena Bridge Club.
(You can also show me the card or a
picture or digital record the first time you check in at
the club.)
I will have masks and hand sanitizer
available, and require that we all respect the wishes of
any players who requests masking at their table.
As you know, bridge players constitute an
extremely vulnerable population, and we're going to do our
best to keep each other healthy!
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zach
