News from
N Fair Oaks

I had a splendid time at the Bridge Week Regional tournament in Long Beach. I was delighted to see a lot of you there! No great results for me this time around, but bridge is like that.

I'm writing this from the ABTA convention in Chicago. I look forward to spending these days with teachers every July, harvesting the best ideas from other bridge teachers to bring back to our own club.

Afterward I'll get to play a few sessions at the NABC. That's always a treat!

STaC game on Wednesday

This Wednesday will be a Silver Point game, including clubs throughout California. Our results will be combined with other Wednesday morning clubs for big overall awards.

Card fees on Wednesday will be $11. Paula Olivares will be directing.

Great classes starting

These are the three courses that I feel can have the most impact on your bridge game, and they're all starting this week! If you can't decide, not to worry! They'll all come around again.
