October is Club Appreciation Month.  We’ll have these extra point pair games on the 5^th, 8^th, 10^th, 11^th, 20^th and 21^st.  The Club Appreciation Team games have a small amount of Gold in the extra point awards, so we’ll have one in every session: the 4^th, 14^th  19^th, 27^th, 29^th and 31^st.  The 299er Team Game on the 14^th is a Draw Team, as is the Thursday October 27 Team.

Our first mentor game of the season will be held Thursday, the 13^th from 9 to noon.  Mentors play FREE.

At the September Board Meeting, two motions were passed which affect games.

1. Starting October 1, all sit-outs will be North-South.
2. An opening lead must be on the table by the two minute point on the game clock to allow the hand to be played. In other words, the bidding must be complete and the lead out at two minutes.

Nancy Zook and Annette Smith are the Nominating Committee this year.  Participation on our Board for a three year term is an important service to the Club.  Nominations will be taken from the floor in November, with an election to follow as necessary before the annual meeting in December.

IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 300 POINTS PLEASE COME AND PLAY FRIDAY MORNINGS AT 9 AM.  

Our building is designed for bridge, and is dedicated to the game with sessions every afternoon except for Sundays.  We offer refreshments and social breaks in every game. We recently installed a new Handicap Accessible Bathroom, and invite all to check out our remodel.

Board meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of the month and members wishing to make comments/suggestions to the board may do so at the beginning of the meeting.  

Need a partner for a club game? Please call the club the day before if possible at 386-734-7170.
