FRESNO BRIDGE CENTER CLOSING DOWN
We’re in the midst of closing the bridge center and putting all our supplies and equipment into storage. When we are allowed to have face to face bridge again, we’ll find a new location to play. It’s sad that we are abandoning our bridge center  which has been so good for us, but we cannot continue to pay rent when we have no income. We hope our members will return when we are able to open safely. There are lots of opportunities to play bridge online. We hope you are able to take advantage of them. For detailed information about the bridge center, please read our treasurer, Don Austin’s report.

PLACES AND FACES
Congratulations to new Gold Life Master Naguib Abdallah.
At the Virtual Vacation Regional online, Peter Weber and Cynthia Tingey were 33rd in the Sunday Goldrush pairs. Other Fresno unit members winning masterpoints were Ann Keag, Cheryl Johnson, Jonel Mueller, Rosalie Jorgensen, Deb Petersen, and Patrick Carroll.
Our condolences go to John Cadwallader, whose father recently passed away.
Our condolences to the family of Pat Alviso, who recently passed away.

PLAYING ONLINE
There are now four online bridge clubs which offer ACBL masterpoints. They also offer free events which do not give masterpoints.
Bridge Base Online (BBO)

Fresno bridge players are aligned with Duncan Bridge Club and Desert Cities Bridge Club. They both have Virtual Bridge Clubs on BBO. To play with their club members, go to Virtual Clubs, ACBL – North America and click on the game you want to play in. The games will show up on BBO about an hour before game time if you are eligible to play. If your partner is not eligible, e-mail the club a few hours early and ask if they can be a guest. Go to the Duncan or DCBC websites to review their schedules.
The online bridge clubs have many other options to play all day long.  

TREASURER’S REPORT
The Fresno Bridge Center has not closed for good. It has gone into hibernation. We will come out of it when the health environment allows.
Think of this as a treasurer’s report. Prior to March of this year, our expenses were around $6000 per month. Some months, our income was around $5000 per months while others (when we had a tournament) our income was about $7000 per month. In 2017, we lost approximately $6000 over the year. In 2018, the annual loss was about $5000 and in 2019, the annual loss was only about $3000. You can see that we were on a good trend. We were digging into our reserves slower each year. 
Lessons were bringing in new members and games were stable.  There was a path to breaking even.
Then it happened. We had to shut down but our
rent and many regular expenses didn’t go away. I checked, but with our non-profit status, we did not qualify for any federal or state relief. Not knowing how long we would be shut down, the board basically decided to hunker down and see what would happen in the next few months. I pulled a little trick and paid only half of our rent each month ($2500) although we are liable for the full amount, running about $5000 per month. Arrears would be paid out of our reserves once we started back. But we still had our Comcast bill, pest control and alarm services bills. No income with lots of expenses. And no end in sight.
This is a serious pandemic from a crazy disease. I have known people who got Covid-19, suffered and survived, and I have known some who have died from Covid-19 complications. It is possible to get it and not even know you have it, but it can also require time in intensive care units. If you think it a hoax, try visiting a hospital to see how bad it is. It seems to attack weakened parts of our bodies. Because of our average age, we are a venerable population for this disease. Our bodies have a lot of mileage under our feet. Even if healthy, we all have vulnerable parts of our body just due to our time on the planet.
Now, we don’t see that we can reopen any time soon. All ACBL tournaments have been shut down until at least the end of the year. So we expect to be closed at least that long. There are hopes that we can reopen by President’s Day (February of 2021) when we have our winter tournament scheduled. We are looking into ways we could hold that tournament, but it is a long way off. 
We can’t keep losing $6000 a month, paying rent for an unused space when we don’t know how long we will be closed. We are trying to buy out the rest of our lease. If it works, we will maintain some reserves to fund our rebirth.
We have disassembled the tables and boxed up the bidding boxes, cards and boards. The plan is that shortly, our materials and equipment will go into storage for the duration. Considering it all, $300 a month in storage fees is much better that $6000 a month for unused space. Once we see that there will be a chance to reopen, we will find a new space. Our expectation is that fewer players will return, at least at first, so we can start with a space with less square footage. There should be lots of spaces available.  
With our computers, tables and cards in storage, we can wait until we can rise from the flames like a phoenix. Maybe we can recall our club the Fawkes Bridge Club. That is a reference to the phoenix in the Harry Potter novels. If you haven’t read them, now is a good time read them. They are not as juvenile as you might think.  
You can earn ACBL points playing on Bridge Base Online. Ask your favorite director for instructions on how to do that. We will be back. And we have an election for officers coming up near the end of the year. I vote we have an on-line Christmas party.

FRESNO BRIDGE CENTER REMAINS CLOSED

Since the pandemic has made it impossible to play bridge at clubs, nearly all bridge clubs in the country have closed. Some clubs in California have closed down operations completely, stopped paying rent, and may reopen at a new location when it is safe to do so. Currently we are considering that option as well. Paying rent when there is no income is difficult.
 
PLACES AND FACES
Congratulations to Judy Zimmerer, a new Silver Life Master.
Welcome to new member Joachim Schirmacher.

There's not much news due to the pandemic. Please contact the editor if you have any news.

BRIDGE CENTER STILL CLOSED
With the recent announcement that bars and indoors dining is closed again, we cannot say when the Fresno Bridge Center will be able to reopen. Your safety is the most important issue. There are still many options for playing bridge online. Bridge Base Online (BBO) has many games every day.
 
 ONLINE BRIDGE
Robot individual games start every hour. In these games, you play against three robots who play an average game. Whatever bid they make, you can inquire what the bid means merely by clicking the bid. Be sure to do that. Robot games pay ACBL points and cost less than $2. Every once in a while, you may want to curse your robot partner, but not too often. There is one robot game each day for the benefit of clubs for $6. You can start any time during the day so long as you finish before 10 pm.
The ACBL is holding a National Robot Tournament on July 11-13. If you haven’t played with robots, there are free practice robot games on July 4 and 5.
BBO has three pair games a day for the benefit of clubs at 7 am, 2 pm, and 4:30 pm for $5.  We can also play at the Desert Cities Bridge Club for $6. This is good if there are special club games, but we do not get any financial benefit. There are other pair games through the day, almost every hour, for less than $2.  In these games, we’ve played against Fresno players and others from throughout the world – even Scotland and Poland. The pair games are all stratified. Call up one of your friends and ask them to play with you online.
Proceeds for the games for the benefit of clubs go to the clubs that you have visited.

The ACBL has held regional tournaments online where you can win gold points. Check the ACBL website and the Messages on BBO if you are interested.

​PLACES AND FACES
At the recent Endless Summer Online Regional, Pete Weber was 40th in the Gold Rush pairs. Former Fresnans John and Della Schnell were 16th in the side game. John was eleventh in the open pairs. If you win something online, please e-mail so we can post it. 

Congratulations to Mark Stern, a new Sapphire Life Master. 

WEBSITE
Our website will close soon, but it is still online. We have saved all the information, but we don’t yet have a new place for it.

FRESNO BRIDGE CENTER REMAINS CLOSED

 
The Fresno Bridge Center will remain closed until we believe it is safe to play bridge at tables again. We will have masks, hand sanitizers, gloves, and whatever other protections are needed to keep you safe. In the meantime, Bridge Base Online (BBO) has many options for online play. Watch your email from ACBL to learn of any special games.
 
WIN SILVER POINTS on BBO

Sunday May 30 is the last day of the online triple silver point games run by local clubs. Fresno players may play at the Desert Cities Bridge Club (DCBC) for $7.50. Just get on BBO, be sure you have a payment account, find the DCBC game under Virtual Clubs, ACBL – North America, click the game and invite your partner. On May 31 they have open game at 9:45 am and 6:30 pm, and a 750 game at 1:45 pm. They normally have games every day at 9:45 am and 1:45 pm for $6. The Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday 1:45 games are 750 games. The Saturday 1:45 game is a 299er game.
 
BBO offers games individual games against robots several times a day. It has IMP pair games starting on the hour throughout the day. It has regular match point pairs fifteen minutes after the hour most of the day. All these games pay ACBL master points and cost less than $2. To support clubs, it has three pair games each day for $5 and one robot individual for $6. You can start the robot individual any time during the day. All these games pay ACBL master points. Just look them up under ACBL World on BBO.  

We’ve heard comments that there is cheating on BBO. Certainly it’s easy to phone your partner during play. BBO has algorithms to detect cheating, and they notify ACBL. Several players have been disciplined for cheating.
 
OTHER NEWS
STAC games have been canceled for the rest of the year. Normally they are in August and December. With clubs playing online only now, it’s not possible to coordinate results from many different online clubs.
 
Congratulations to new regional master Jonel Mueller and new junior master Matthew Wilkins.
 Welcome to new member Lucas Newman.
 
We are saddened to report that Fran Guagliardo passed away. She was the wife of Matt Guagliardo, a former Fresno Unit president who almost single-handedly brought the NABC to Fresno in 1980. Matt still lives here. Fran was a talented artist who worked on the 1980 NABC and drew the cover of the restaurant guide and several other items for us.
 
If we re-open in June, we will have our annual Graduation Party and Pro-Am pairs on Sunday June 28.
 
LONGEST DAY
            This year the Longest Day is celebrated on June 20 or 21. This is a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. You can contribute on line or play at the DCBC on BBO. We’ll have more information on our website later.
     You can donate on line by looking up Alzheimer’s Association Longest Day. Click on “search” and enter 522 in the search by participant.

Volume LXXII No. 5  
FRESNO BRIDGE CENTER TO REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL MAY 7 OR LATER
We are waiting to find out when we can reopen our bridge clubs. Currently non-essential businesses are closed until May 7, but that likely will be longer. We may not be going back to the old normal. The Fresno Bridge Center has ordered masks, sanitizers, and gloves to keep us safe when we are able to reopen. We’ll likely require that masks be worn at the bridge center. We may change the food and drink that we provide to help keep you safe. We’ll continue to monitor the city, county, and state regulations to determine when it is advisable to reopen, and we’ll keep you informed.

PLACES AND FACES
Congratulations to new Silver Life Master Judy Jessick, new regional master Kathryn Miller, and new junior master Georgia Murach.
Also congratulations to our neighbor from Visalia, Warren Cederborg, who became a Grand Life Master in April while playing online on BBO.
Because of the pandemic, the Visalia sectional scheduled for this month has been canceled. This is one of our favorite tournaments. We are sorry that we will miss it this year. 

​ONLINE BRIDGE
BBO offers many daily bridge games to keep you active when the bridge club is closed. In addition to their many daily games, there are three daily pair games at $5 each and an all day individual game at $6. Proceeds from those games go to local bridge clubs.
Some bridge clubs have partnered with BBO to offer online pair games for their members only. The clubs determine the price. Most charge between $6 and $8. We are looking to see whether that is something for the Fresno Unit clubs. To make the games work, six tables are required. Please reply to let us know whether you are interested in playing in a game for our members online.

SAD NEWS
Our condolences to Lowell Gist, whose wife Sharon recently passed away.
Our condolences to Jim McKoane, whose wife Lee passed away last week. Lee was a Life Master, but she hasn’t played at the club in several years.
Our condolences to the family of Bettie Bianchi. She was nearly a Life Master, but hasn’t played with us in about twenty years.

​GOLD POINT REGIONAL
ON BRIDGE BASE ONLINE
THIS WEEKEND
You may have received an e-mail from ACBL that a regional tournament is online on BBO this weekend. There are open pairs, Gold Rush pairs, and side games which offer a chance to win gold points on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Two sessions at $15 each are required to be eligible for gold points.

​TREASURER REPORT
Here is a great example of how accrual accounting works. Not a single game has been played in April, yet the books report about $1500 of income in April. That is because we recognize the money taken in during March on the April books. March was not a good month for us and of course April will be worse. While we won’t be taking in any money in April, we haven’t spent much either. Our credit card bill is normally around $500. In April it was $48. There are some recurring charges like Comcast and pest control. Rent was, as always, our biggest expense.
We have requested rent reduction from the landlord. It makes sense for them to let us pay half our normal rent. We are not using any significant utilities or even contributing to congestion in the parking lot. They want us to stay when all this is over. We have reserves that can see us through several months. Twice several if they let us pay half rent.
In other words, financially, we can wait it out if the shelter in place orders don’t last through the winter. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy. When we can play again, we need everyone to come back. To phrase it as was done in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic; be patriotic and wear a mask.

Volume LXXII No. 4                                        April 2020 
​FRESNO BRIDGE CENTER TO REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL APRIL 12
The State of California requires those over 65 to stay at home. The Fresno County Department of Health and the State of California recommend no gatherings with over ten people 65 or older. The City of Fresno has   ordered "Shelter-in-Place" to April 12th.   President Trump recommends that nonessential businesses and gatherings must be avoided until the end of April. Therefore, we anticipate being required to stay closed at least until April 12th, and likely longer.  The Bridge Center board will monitor the situation on a day to day basis and if anything changes, we will keep you informed.  The Bergon Senior Center in Madera is closed, so the Madera bridge game is also closed. The Oakhurst game is also closed, and will remain closed until it is safe to gather. Please stay safe and healthy.
PLACES AND FACES
Congratulations to Steven Holmes, a new Bronze Life  Master.  Also congratulations to new sectional masters Ed Hampton and Suzanne Sobenes and new junior masters Laurie Harrington and Louise Stermer.
 
We are sad to report that Tom Callahan passed away. He was a frequent player in our 99er games. He was hospitalized in January and passed away in March. Our condolences to his family.
 
POKER NIGHT
April 24
We’ve scheduled a poker tournament for Friday April 24 at 7 pm. Entry fee is $20 which gets you a stack of poker chips. Additional chips can be purchased if your stack gets low. The tournament goes until 10 pm when the winners are determined. We also plan to have raffles in conjunction with Poker Night. We may have to reschedule if the Bridge Center remains closed through April.
​
ANNIVERSARY PARTY
April 19
We plan to celebrate our eleventh anniversary at the Fresno Bridge Center on Sunday April 19 with a luncheon and a charity game. We’ll let you know if this event is postponed.

CLUB NEWS
Leaders for March in Madera were Richard Meffley, followed by Barbara Diebert, Carol Kaufman, and June Serio. Carol leads for the year, followed by Barbara, and Steve Johnson. Masterpoint leaders for Oakhurst are Kenneth Doig,     Nancy Hays,   Jim Luther,    Diane McDonough,   Joni Roberts,   Alfred Ellis,   Burke Zane,   Ira Estin, and   James Cosby.
 
At the Fresno Bridge Center, the top masterpoint winners for March were Richard Meffley, followed by Mun Takeda, Gerard Laquerriere, Rose Boot, Cynthia Tingey, and Steve Johnson.   Mary Lou Pease leads for 2020, followed by Victor Greener, Laura Da Costa, and Ray April.

BRIDGE BASE ONLINE HAS GAMES
TO BENEFIT CLUBS

Bridge Base Online (BBO) long has had games that give ACBL masterpoints. During these difficult times, BBO has added games to benefit clubs. The charge is $5 for pair games and $6 for robot individual games. If you register your ACBL number, four dollars goes to the bridge clubs that you normally play in.  Pair games are held at 7 am, 2 pm, and 4:30 pm. You and your partner must be online when the game starts. Individual games for clubs are held once each day. You can start anytime and take breaks as long as you finish 18 boards between midnight and midnight EST each day. Information about these games is available on BBO  and at ACBL .

DIRECTORY
A new directory is available for $1. Jim Luther is now the director of the Oakhurst games at 10 am on Mondays and Thursdays. Contact him at 559 675 8578.

Treasurer’s Report  
Isn’t it an old Chinese curse? May you live in interesting times. The bridge center can weather this storm. The financial statements are posted each month on the bulletin board at the club house, but of course you can’t see them since we are closed. Let me give you a rough outline.
Stripping away things like food, replacement cards and the like, our minimum expenses are about $5250 per month. Rent being the biggest expense, but we have other recurring costs, like insurance.
We have a little over $100,000 in reserves. So, we could stay dark for roughly 20 months before going broke. Heaven help us if that happens. Or said another way, if that happens, we will likely be seeing each other in heaven.
We need those reserves if we move in a few more years when our lease runs out. If we stay, we will want to use those reserves for a little remodeling (new carpet). Reserves are good.
But in these interesting times, we need the reserves to tide us over while we are not playing bridge. The best way to see this is: if we stay dark for a few months, we are OK.  
More importantly, we need to stay healthy so that we can play when play resumes. This virus spreads easily. Let’s face it, we are an older group of people and us older folk are suffering worse than other age groups with COVID-19. The steps being taken by the city and state to keep us out of harm’s way are for us. If you are following the news, they call it “flattening the curve”. As a statistics nerd, I get it: fewer people get sick, but the cases occur over a longer period of time. Key word is FEWER. 
​It is best for us to hunker down and wait this out. Maybe it will be over in two weeks, but don’t count on it. Don’t expect a magic cure coming from the feds. Luckily, our state and city are doing the right things to manage this. While the survival rate is not so bad, it seems to impact those over 65 worst. That is us. We have to make sacrifices. Stay home. I have to give up visiting my new granddaughter for a few months.  What greater sacrifice is that?
In the meantime, play on-line. You can earn ACBL points on bridgebase.com or funbridge.com .

OTHER CLUBS​
Most ACBL clubs have closed while we are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Two bridge players in Colorado have died of corona virus after playing several times at their bridge cub. Several players were infected during a recent regional in Tucson. Our clubs will reopen when we know it is safe. Bridge Winners has a lot of information on how clubs are coping, plus lots of other information.

FRESNO WINTER SECTIONAL
VICTOR GREENER WINS PRESIDENTS AWARD
JIMMY MOORE AND BOB CARROLL
 TOP 99ERS
Attendance was good at our recent sectional tournament. Our hospitality committee, Laura Da Costa, Mary Lou Pease, Deb Petersen, Jonel Mueller, Belva Quattrin, and Cindy Tingey, did a fine job of providing snacks and lunches. We even received a nice letter from out of town guests thanking us for a nice tournament.    We tried a new concept for Sunday Swiss teams –  bracketed teams. We had four brackets of four teams each – an improvement over previous Swiss team attendance.
Victor Greener won the President’s award with 22 masterpoints, winning the bracketed teams and finishing fourth in four pair events. Jimmy Moore and Bob Carroll of Mariposa were the top 99ers, winning flight B of the Monday morning 499er pairs and flight B of the Monday afternoon open pairs. Congratulations!

CLUB NEWS
The top players in Oakhurst for February were Kenneth Doig, Burke Zane, Ken Sommers, and Jimmy Moore. Barbara Diebert was the top master point winner in Madera for February, followed by Carol Kaufman and Steve Johnson. Carol Kaufman leads for 2020, followed by Steve Johnson and Barbara Diebert.
The top players in Fresno for February were Laura Da Costa, followed by Ray April, Victor Greener, and Mary Lou Pease. Laura leads for 2020, followed by Ray, Mary Lou, and Victor.
Ann Keag was the top 99er for Fresno, followed by Margot Cegielski, June Serio, and Sandy OwYoung-Chu. Sandy leads for 2020, followed by Mary Claire Ewing, Margot Cegielski, and Ann Keag.
            We’re still losing lots of bathroom keys. We’ve noticed several times people leave a key in the keyhole in the door. Are they trying to help the homeless use the bathroom? DO NOT LEAVE the key in the door. If you are smart enough to play bridge, you should be smart enough to use the key and bring it back to the bridge club. If you aren’t that clever, you could at least figure out how to bring the key back after you take it home.

​UPCOMING SECTIONALS
Please note our neighbors are having their sectionals soon. It’s nice to visit their tournaments and see how other tournaments work. You may make friends who will come to our sectional.

Treasurer’s report  
Since there was no board meeting in February, there won’t be a posting of financial reports on the bulletin board. Older statements are there. Let me summarize the financial situation
​Christmas in the middle of the week, what else could happen? Many cancelled games due to the holiday. We lost money in January. As we normally see, January is not a good month for the club. In other words, we lost money in December and January, as we normally do. But all is not lost.  
We had a great sectional in February which made up for the prior two months’ losses. We had 116.5 tables for the tourney. Next month, we will have data of our actual earnings. And outside of the tourney, our table count is rising. As an example, we typically have 9 tables on Saturday (open and ‘99er game).  That’s a great increase from when we had only 3 tables on Saturday. If this increase continues on through March, we are on the track to stay growing.
As your treasurer, I can ask you to do the following to keep us in the black. Play an extra game each month. You can earn an extra piece of a point and help the bottom line. Stay healthy. Enough of posting obits. And participate in fund raisers coming up.

FRESNO WINTER SECTIONAL
February 14-17, 2020
Once again we’re having a silver point sectional tournament over the President’s holiday weekend.  The schedule is similar to last year, except that the Fast Pairs will move from Friday evening (Valentine’s Day) to Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning will be a new event, bracketed Swiss teams.  Each bracket should have four or five teams of about the same master point holding. It should be a fun event. The last bracket likely could be all players with less than 100 or 200 master points. As in the past, there will be 499er pair games and open pair games every session.  Saturday morning we’ll have a 199er game instead of a 499er game. Members with fewer than 10 master points may play free on Saturday morning.

    ​HINTS FOR BEGINNING PLAYERS
    BIDDING
    When your partner opens one of a suit, and the next player passes, you MUST bid something if you have six points or more. If you don’t have a suit of four cards or longer that you can bid at the one level, you can bid No Trump. If you have 10 or more points, you can bid your best suit even if it’s at the two level.
    DEFENSE
    When your partner leads and you have a sequence, if you want to play one of the sequence, play the lowest of the sequence. Playing an honor when you follow suit says you do not have the next higher honor. If your partner leads, and you have a choice of the King or Queen, play the Queen. This also applies if you play last.
    DECLARER PLAY
    When trying to set up a long suit, if you are short of entries, give up any sure losers first and save your winners for entries. For example: Dummy has A9765 and you have K32. Lose the first trick, then win the second with the King and the third with the Ace. Usually dummy’s two cards left will be winners.
    GRAND NATIONAL TEAMS
    District 21 Grand National Teams are under way, with four flights. The deadline for entering the Open teams has passed. The deadline to enter 0-2500 ends February 7, 2020. The 0 -6,000 deadline is April 3, 2020, and the under 500 deadline is May 1, 2020. Check the District 21 website for more information.
PLACES AND FACES
We had lots of winners at the recent Monterey Regional.  Mark and Sally Stern, with Carol and Larry Miller were third in Bracket of the KO teams and won flight B of the evening Swiss teams. Pete Weber and Avis Morse were third in the side game and also won flight B of another side game. Cynthia Tingey and Rosalie Jorgensen won flight C of the side game. Angie Heisdorf and Rhonda Hampton took fifth in one Gold Rush pairs and 14th in another. Ed Hampton and Steve Johnson were third in flight C of the Gold Rush pairs. Farid Assemi, Richard Meffley, Jim Slinger, and Gerard Laquerriere were second in the evening Swiss teams. Farid Assemi, James Slinger, and Ed Wojewoda were sixth in the A/X/Y Swiss teams and third in the evening Swiss teams. Gerard Laquerriere and Richard Meffley were seventh in the Open pairs and won the Fast pairs. Gerard Laquerriere won the AM Swiss teams. Bill Glass took first, second, and third in side games. Olivia Stockton and Annie Chiljian won gold points in the Open pairs.
At the San Francisco sectional, Gerard Laquerriere was fifth in the Open pairs.
Congratulations to all our winners.
 
Congratulations to new club masters Pat Heckathorn and Sandy Petrie and to new junior masters Kandiah Jeyapalan and Nalini Jeyapalan.
 
Welcome to new members Lory Johnson of Coalinga and Maura Pennington and Matthew Wilkins of Clovis.

Our best wishes go to new members Matthew Wilkins and Maura Pennington who recently announced their engagement. They plan a wedding in September.
 
There will be an open house celebration of the life of Sharon Small on Saturday, February 15 from 4 to 6 pm at the home of her daughter-in-law, 1910 Cougar Lane in Clovis.
 
We are saddened to report that Virginia Johnson passed away recently. Virginia was a long time member and co-hosted the Friday afternoon game.

CLUB NEWS
The top winners in Madera for January were Steve Johnson, followed by Carol Kaufman, Barbara Diebert, and Richard Meffley. Bill Glass was the top masterpoint winner in Fresno for December, followed by Richard Meffley, Bob Durbrow, and Victor Greener. Victor Greener was the top masterpoint winner for 2019, followed by Ray April, Laura Da Costa, and Bill Glass. Sandy Petrie was the top 99er for December, followed by Pat Heckathorn, Ed Keller, and Barbara Gaudin. Margot Cegielski was the top 99er for 2019, followed by Fred Schellack, Mary Claire Ewing, and Ann Keag. Lowell Gist starts out the new year leading, followed by Mary Lou Pease, Victor Greener, and Laura Da Costa. Mary Claire Ewing leads the 99ers, followed by Sandy OwYoung-Chu and Margot Cegielski.
We started the new year with improvements in the kitchen – one refrigerator and the dishwasher were replaced with brand new appliances.

Treasurer’s Report 
If you look at the year-end financial report just approved by the board, it looks like we lost around $3400.00. And we did, but… not really. We spent about that amount of money on capital expenses; a new dealing machine, the AED and mountains of new cards. We would be in the black if we hadn’t made these capital purchases but we needed to make those expenditures. The cost of the new refrigerator and dishwasher will show up on next year’s expenses. If next year is like last, we may break even. And better yet, we are set with new equipment to be a first-rate club into the next ten years or so. Well done, club members. Special thanks to Mun, all those who worked on fundraisers and those doing recruitment, like Mary Lou Pease.
Stay healthy, keep playing and bring friends.

UNIT NEWS
Congratulations to elected board members Don Austin, Kay Chrisman, Richard Meffley,

LESSONS
We’re starting free lessons again on Saturday, January 18, 2020 at 9 am. We’ll have Easybridge I for those who want to learn bridge or haven’t played in years. Easybridge II is for those who have done Easybridge I and those with some bridge experience.  Let your friends know that we are starting bridge lessons again this month.  
Call Mary Lou Pease, 288-2340, or Laura Da Costa, 999-2825, for more information.

GROUND RULES FOR NEW PLAYERS
BIDDING
You want to play in a major suit fit with eight or more trumps between you and your partner. When your partner opens a minor suit, bid a four card or longer major suit before you raise the minor suit. You can raise on your next bid.
DECLARER PLAY
In a suit contract, when Dummy has a short suit, always think about trumping in dummy. If you have five good trumps and dummy has three good trumps, you still have five tricks if you trump in your hand. If you trump once in dummy, you have five plus one = six tricks.
DEFENSE When you have an Ace on opening lead against a suit contract, either lead the Ace or lead another suit. If you under lead your Ace, you may never get a trick with it.​ 
​

LESSONS
Free lessons start again on Saturday, January 18, 2020. If you need to brush up on your basics, come to the lessons at 9 am. We have two groups – one for those who want to learn bridge and one for those who want some more instruction. Let your friends know they can learn bridge free next year.
Mun lessons next year will include practice sessions. Look for more information in future newsletters.

PLACES AND FACES
At the Ventura regional, Mark and Sally Stern topped the side game twice. Former Fresno Unit member Jay Roll won Bracket 1 of the Swiss teams and was second in the open pairs. Congratulations to Kim Morris, a new Gold Life Master with over 2,500 master points. Also congratulations to Nicki Gram, a new junior master.
It was good to see Linda Coppersmith, returning to Fresno from Florida to visit during the Thanksgiving holiday.
There’s not too much news this month, but sometimes that’s good. If you learn of any interesting activities, please tell the editor.

​UNIT NEWS
We’re planning another Bid-a-Player auction around March next year. You can bid on a volunteer player for a game at the club. For any new player who thinks he’s not ready to play with our top Life Masters, there will be intermediate players to bid on as well.
We still have RAFFLE tickets available. You can win a $200 Costco gift card, a $100 Amazon gift card, or ten $10 gift cards for bridge club play. The drawing will be at the Christmas party on December 8, 2019.
 
Treasurer’s report  
 (October financials)
There is a little quirk in the financial statements if you look at them at the center. We bought a new dealing machine in September, so it looks like we lost lots of money that month. We sold the old dealing machine, but that check was not received until November, so does not show up on the current reports. It will show up on year-end reports. Thanks to Kay, we got the new machine for under $3,000. I have heard it is working great.  In October, we had a sectional and Mun gave a lesson, so we were in the black for October.  We will recognize the sale of the old machine in November, so I expect that month to look good. 
​If you have questions, come to the Membership meeting/Christmas Game on December 8th and you can ask me there.
