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> I love a good Arnold Palmer. I made it a point to have an iced tea and lemonade dispenser in the club when we opened. Well the tea machine didn't work very well, and Park's Coffee replaced it with another machine, but ultimately they've taken all of those products off their catalog. For quite a while, the lemonade has been so weak it wasn't really drinkable. Park's sent a tech out to adjust the machine, and *it's pretty good now*. I have one more refill of lemonade to serve. Help yourself! I'll be looking for another tea/lemonade solution sometime! ACBL Wide Charity Game #2 This game raises money for ACBL charities, and it features big masterpoint awards and a delightful analysis booklet with all of the hands from the game reviewed and analyzed. The game will be Wednesday, April 16 (a week away). Card fee will be $13. Special feature for the *Friday Social/Supervised play session* at 3:00, I'll have the hands from the charity game available to play, along with the expert analysis! Sale on 5-game tickets Let's have a spring sale! Starting April 15, until April 30, 5-game tickets will be on sale for $55 (instead of $60). Punches are good for any regular Open Pairs game, or the Tuesday and Saturday 299er Pairs. Bridge Classes This Week *Two Over One Game Force* starts this week on Wednesday evening! Come level-up your bidding to the most popular system played in our club and tournaments everywhere. Sign up here <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/course_enrollment>. If you see a topic for a class that interests you, you can always drop in for a single class for $25 without committing to an entire course. *Mojo's pick for this week*: Wednesday at 3:00 PM we'll be practicing all of the big popular conventions: Stayman, Jacoby Transfer Bids, strong 2-Club openers, and a little slam bidding. It's great getting to practice them all in a concentrated setting. This week's classes: * Wednesday, April 9, 3:00 PM /Bridge Basics 3 - Popular Conventions/ "Practice Hands" * Wednesday, April 9, 7:00 PM /Two Over One Game Force/ "Introduction" * Wednesday, April 10, 7:00 PM /Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction/ "One Notrump Openings and Responses" Every Saturday morning at 9:30, we have a free workshop using a hand from Eddie Kantar's /Thinking Bridge/ series. Every entertaining hand teaches players how to think about problems in bidding, play, and defense. Coming up ... We're going to have a full week of Club Championship games at the Open Pairs sessions Monday through Saturday, April 21-26. I'm planning to hold a week of Club Championships every two months during the last week of the month. Best regards, Mojo, Jane, Zachary
