With the imminent closing of the Arcadia Bridge
Center, a lot of players who live to the east of
Arcadia have a difficult time in the I-210
traffic to Pasadena.
Besides the possibility of someone opening a
club or at least a weekly game in that part of
the town, you should know that Tom Lill has a
splendid pair of games at La Fetra in Glendora:
Tuesday and Friday mornings at 8:45 AM.
It's a lovely location and I've enjoyed playing
in his games. Give it a spin! Drop Tom a note at
thomasmlill8@gmail.com.
Robert Todd Seminar
 Sunday,
April 14, join us for a full day with
entertaining bridge player and teacher Robert
Todd. Robert's seminars are dynamite for
experienced and newer players alike. He teaches
how to think about bridge, not just rules to
memorize.
- 9:00 AM Modern Preempts
- 1:00 PM Defensive Tools
Spend the day with us for $85. Save your seat at this
link.
New Courses Starting
Three great new bridge courses are starting
this week. Each one is six classes long and
comes with a splendid textbook:
Enroll in any of the classes
at this link.
Bridge Basics 1 has 20 students enrolled right
now, with a limit of 28. Sign up through PCC
Extension at
this link.
"Can't see new games on RSVP!"
All of my players on RSVP Bridge are members of
"groups" that correspond to each weekly game or
class at the bridge club. When you visit RSVP,
the only events you see on the calendar are of
groups you belong to.
When you play in a game for the first time, I
automatically add you to the group for that
game. The group members can see who is signed up
to play, reserve seats for future games, and get
a reminder email before each game.
To join games you would like to hear about:
- Click https://rsvpbridge.com/
and Login
- Click "My Clubs" in the top row
- See all the groups available, and see "Would
you like to join any of these groups?"
When you add new games such as Monday or
Tuesday Open Pairs, they appear in your
calendar.

This Saturday afternoon I thought it might be a
good idea to go over the Convention Card. I will
discuss how it's organized, how to read one, and
how to create one with your partner.
Saturday morning we're inviting our Bridge
Basics 3 students to come hang out and practice
the Stayman Convention, or shuffle and deal
hands! Feel free to join us at 9:30. Come
practice with Jane Winer and Michael Blottin in
the Knowles Memorial Bridge Classroom.
Support for Kelsey
 My new bridge
player and student Kelsey McRae was diagnosed
with stage 2 breast cancer this past February.
She's doing well and recovering now from a
double mastectomy and reconstruction.
Her friends have
set up a GoFundMe page, and I was happy to
offer some support. If you'd like to as well,
give it a click! Help get Kelsey back to the
bridge table soon.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
