[News] Last chance for discount cards

Pasadena Bridge Club Logo <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> News from North Fair Oaks Mojo ABTA Master Teacher 649 N Fair Oaks Ave #201 Pasadena CA 91103 (626) 247-4457 pasadenabridgeclub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> These are our last couple of days to get the 5-game discount card. Thursday is August 15, and the final day to buy some future games for $10. We'll sell you as many as four cards for $50 each, and a lot of people have been buying as many as they can. That's commitment! Games at the club are now $12. Next Monday we have a week of silver point games with the Western Conference Sectional Tournament at Clubs, and following that will be the last chance to get your qualifier for the North American Pairs tournament. Those games will be $13 to cover the extra sanction fee from the ACBL. For the special games, you can still use your punch cards, but we'll ask you to kick in a buck. Our coffee service, Parks Coffee, is discontinuing the sale of lemonade and iced tea, and will stop supporting the dispensers like the one I have in the club. Admittedly the dispenser has been a bit unreliable! I still love my Arnold Palmers, and would like to serve iced tea and lemonade. I'll be looking for some alternatives. We have enough supply to last another month or two. Classes this coming week Individual classes are available to join for $25. No need to sign up for a full course! The defense course is especially good for drop-ins! Send me a note and let me know you're coming. * Wednesday, 7:00 PM, /Introduction to Defense/, "Third-hand play to the first trick" * Thursday, 7:00 PM, /Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction/ "Major Suit Opening Bids and Responses" Coming up ... *Silver point games, August 19-24*. The Western Conference is hosting this Sectional Tournament at Clubs. Clubs throughout California and Nevada are eligible to participate, so the overall awards are potentially pretty big! *North American Pairs Qualifiers, August 26-31*. As well as paying huge masterpoint awards (half red, half black), if you earn at least 50% in these games you qualify to compete in the NAP District Final on October 27. And that could lead to competing in the NAP finals in Memphis next March! These NAP Qualifiers are your last chance for the 2024-25 NAP. August 31 is the last day for club qualifiers.
