CLUB NEWS

Mary Claire Ewing leads the 99ers for October, followed by Margot Cegielski and Pat Heckathorn. Mary Claire leads for 2019, followed by Margot Cegielski and Fred Schellack.
There are several Christmas parties in December besides the Unit party. Mary Lou Pease will have a pot luck Christmas party on Wednesday December 18.  The Tuesday afternoon 750 group will have a party on December 10. Other clubs may also celebrate the holidays.
Don’t forget Western Conference STAC games from December 9 through December 15. All STAC games award silver points. The games are held at clubs all over the West. The top score in an open game could win up to 20 masterpoint.


​

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.
