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. For lots more information about
the North American Pairs, drop in here: https://nap.bridgemojo.com/
Finally, our next courses will be Improving
Your Judgment - Doubles starting Sept. 11,
and Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding
starting Sept. 12. All the information is available here.

Mojo, Jane, Zachary
