Message from the Calender Keeper - July & August 2008

Kreal Memorial.  Sue Kreal lost her battle with cancer recently.  A memorial game in her honor is set for Monday, August 4.   Although it is a charity game, this is planned more as an opportunity to fondly remember Sue’s life.  She dearly loved playing bridge.  The charity game will benefit cancer charities, and of course, extra donations will be accepted.

NOTEWORTHY NEWS:

World Wide Pairs

Dorothy Derr – The July Bridge Bulletin brought news of her death.  It must have been 20 years ago, but she used to run the Monday night game for several years before moving to Oklahoma.  After leaving, she continued to direct and became a popular sectional director in her neck of the woods.

STaC – We had lots of people who did well in the District 10 STaC the last week of June.  But the best was Coley McGinnis who finished a very close 3rd in the entire tournament with 29.05 points.  Probably could have won if he had only played somewhere Friday morning.

GET YOUR TEAMS TOGETHER. There are quite a few opportunities to play Swiss teams this period.

 

Sunday Games.  All Sunday games will have a start time of 1:15 in July and August.  We have a nice mix of pair and team games planned.  Plus, the Juks will be hosting brunch on three dates. Come on out for a relaxing afternoon of bridge.  It is too hot outside anyway!  Remember, we expect all games to make, but in the unfortunate event one does not …. Guarantee:  If you come to a Sunday game that happens not to have enough people show up to play, you will receive a certificate for a future free play at any club game.  Here is the schedule for this these two months (indicates director in charge):

7/06 – Holiday Weekend Firecracker Pairs (Pat Williams)
7/13 – Pancakes and Pips – Brunch @ 12:30; pair game @ 1:15 – Club Championship (Kristina Juk)
