New Rank Advancements

As per the latest information received from ACBL, we'd like to congratulate the following club members for achieving new ACBL ranks:

* Junior Master (5MPs) - Marie Stoddard
* Club Master (20 MPs) - Catherine Carpinello, Carle Fones, and Laura Lanier
* Sectional Master (50 MPs) - Jean Zebedee
* Regional Master (100 MPs) - Freda Yocum
* NABC Master (200 MPs) - Barb Roth  
* Ruby Life Master (1500 MPs) - Jack Thorp 

Note: some of these categories also require a specific number of gold, red, or silver MPs in addition to total points. Life/Bronze Life Master point requirements are dependent on when the member joined the ACBL.

Upcoming Special Events

The Harrisburg Bridge Club is introducing a new Friday afternoon limited point game on a trial basis to give our 0-2500 players an opportunity to compete with players of like point totals. The initial 0-2500 game will be offered on Friday January 9th at 12:30 PM, and this game will run concurrently with the 0-750 game. These will be two separate games being played at the same time, and the games will NOT be combined.

Teams of 4-6 players compete at the local level for a chance to represent District 4 at the National Finals this year being held in Minneapolis in July. The Open Flight  and Flight B will be held in New Jersey.
