Starting next week, we'll offer Open Pairs games on *Wednesday mornings* at 11:00 a.m., and a short Bridge Express (14-board) game on *Tuesday evenings* at 7:00 p.m. Make a reservation to play on Wednesday any time through February and I'll be bringing in either pizza from Blaze or tamales from Vallarta. We'll make it *lunch and bridge*. Drop me an email, and I'll add you to the "Wednesday Morning" group on RSVPbridge. Partners available! No Open Pairs games on Thursday or Friday mornings this week. (Or Monday or Tuesday.) We're also going to take the opportunity to offer some *daytime beginning bridge classes on Thursday mornings* starting in about six weeks. I'll be posting an offer for /Bridge Basics 1/ on Thursday mornings, and we'll have a short form (14-board) novice game on Thursday afternoons. I'll post more information about the class and game when we nail down a date. Huge event this Sunday We have reservations for 18-1/2 tables of bridge this Sunday for the North American Pairs District 23 Final! These players all qualified to compete by doing well in a designated NAP Qualifier game at a club during June July and August. The top 4 pairs in each flight (top 3 in A flight) will be invited to compete in the prestigious North American Pairs championship at the Spring NABC in New Orleans. This is also a great opportunity to showcase our wonderful club! Play of the Hand and Social Bridge Our classes on Thursday evening and Saturday morning have great turnouts. There's still room if you'd like to join! We also have new players coming to spend time at the club and play bridge with friends, old and new. Social bridge sessions will be available on Thursday evenings, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., and Saturday mornings, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. For the social bridge games, we'll have mentors on hand to help you when you're stumped. I have Chicago score pads available for keeping track as well! I just completed the first class of a new /Bridge Basics 1 - An Introduction/ class for PCC Extension. Class was completely full, with 27 of the 28 registered students coming to the first session. Watch for these folks to start filling in our social and novice games! Updates to the space We've added four large (and silent) air purifiers to the playing area, three in the main room and one in the classroom. Every table now has an anti-virus Kleenex box. and there's hand sanitizer in the kitchen and next to the convention cards. Our landlord has roofers visiting the space Thursday morning to help pinpoint the source of a few roof leaks that popped up during the Monday night downpour. Maybe they can patch it up enough for the next storm! As it is, there was no damage to the club that wasn't easy to clean up. We have spare ceiling tiles, and we're all set to go. Best regards, Mojo
