The Unit Membership Appreciation Game was held July 10th
starting with a great dinner for 130 hungry bridge players at the Sonoma Chicken
Coop, paid for by the Unit. That means that about 600 of our members didn't
want a free dinner! People have been raving about how tender the chicken was
and the salad: simply fabulous and scrumptious! By the way, Sonoma Chicken
Coop does a very good Eggs Benedict for you breakfast lovers.
Then, back at the Community Center, we had 211/2
tables in the open game, and 11 tables in the limited game. Sitting East-West
Bruce Scott and Barbara Mash won the 199er overall with over 67%! Harry Shannon
and Hugh Roberts were 1st East-West in the 49ers. Sitting North-South Judy
Travis and Joel Koransky were 1st in the 199ers and Maralyn Smith and Norman
Marks were 1st Overall in the 49ers. In the open game Marolyn and Marshall
Yancey sitting East-West were 1st overall, just edging out North-South Kit
Humphrey and Henri Farhi by 1 point in the last round! Michael Fleischer and
Mindy Foos were 1st Overall in flight B sitting N-S, and 1st in B E-W went to
Kathy and Rick Jasper. 1st Overall in C went to E-W to Jennifer Gu and Nongyu
Li and 1st C N-S was Ravi Thomas and Neil Robinson.
Unit Board of Directors news: Erin Gove is our new
Secretary replacing Marshall Yancey after 10 years of service, and John Prior
is our new Treasurer replacing Neil Webb. Thanks Marshall and Neil for a job
well done! All the other incumbent officers managed get reelected and hold
their old positions. That means you have me as Prez again, so start reading my
column. Thanks to all of you that ran in the election. It's great to have so
many volunteers available.
Next month’s Unit
game is going to be on Saturday August 20, and we will be celebrating Don
Nemiro's 10,000 point level (for you newer players, this is not a typo, there
are supposed to be 4 zeros) as well as other accomplishments of other players
in the Unit.
That's it for this
month, so I'll see ya at the tables.

those of the Unit Board.
The ACBL is
intending to give free absolute beginner lessons at the Santa Clara Regional. We
still need a few teachers to take on a chapter and a half from Audrey Grant’s
book to complete the faculty. If you are able to help out (and possibly acquire
yourself a few new paying students in the process), contact Mich Ravera at

Carole Dietz is
now running a Supervised Play on most Saturday Mornings at
In the late 1970’s
broadcast video presentation “All in the Family”, Archie Bunker had an open
mind. He just never heard an idea from anyone else that he ever thought had any
merit.
It is in radical
opposition to Mr. Bunker’s point of view, thanks to the suggestion of Rita
Tingley, a considerable amount of help and vigilance from Lynn Yokel and others,
(and a good bit of assembly work by me), we have a calendar in this issue. I
won’t claim that I couldn’t have done it without Lynn’s and Rita’s help, but
the fact is that I wouldn’t have done it without their help.
Of course the color
version of the calendar would be much more striking, but I have limited ability
to print color versions of this newsletter. I’ll leave some color versions the
calendar at the club so that people who really need the color version can
procure them. This edition of the calendar only goes through the end of August,
so most of the Santa Clara Regional is not on it.
Dan gave his proper
and deserving thanks to the retiring members of the board in his column, but
neglected to mention in print that Dick Pitzer, a friend, a neighbor, and occasional
Bridge partner of mine, had resigned from the board due to his impending move
to Oregon. Dick has given us 13 good months of service as membership chairman
and effective established Tuesday afternoons as a lesson time at the club. His
position as membership chair will be ably filled by Will Watson and the lesson
time that he established has been revived quite well by Lynn and Carole. His
shoes as C-Player good guy, however, are a bit more difficult to fill.
Hopefully, there will be a big contest to fill that position with no clear
winner. That would be a good thing in my opinion.
