| A New Director - Alan McIlwain |
Congratulations to Kathy Wheeler for becoming our third director. With three directors, it will make it much easier for one of us to take a vacation, or plan some other activity on a 'bridge day'. Thanks, Kathy.

| Team Games - Alan McIlwain |
We are running evening team games on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at 6:15 PM as long as we have enough interest. If we can, we'll play a Swiss Team game, but if we have a small or odd number of tables it will be a Round-Robin.
Each team is asked to bring a light snack or dessert dish. Bring your own drinks.
Please register ahead by the Thursday evening with Donna McIlwain at dmc3726@yahoo.com, and provide player names so we can set the games up in advance to save time.

| Recent Losses - Bonnie Byrne |
We are sad to report the recent loss of two of our Solivita bridge players.
Laurie Selling - She passed away recently from complications after esophageal cancer surgery in August. She fought hard for 5 months but left us on January 3. Laurie was an active member of our bridge world at Solivita. She will be greatly missed!
Rita Power - She was one of the first residents of Solivita and an avid bridge player, passed away on July 3, 2023. She moved her home in 2019 to a senior community in Dover, Delaware, close to her family. She had a bad fall and did not recover.

| SE Florida (Florida Bridge Collective) - Alan McIlwain |
For those of you playing on-line a lot, we have news from the SE Florida Bridge Collective.
"We have decided to merge the SE Carolina and the Florida Bridge Collective. An integrated game schedule will be posted on the SE Carolina and Florida Bridge Collective. We have tried to maintain all the sponsored games but had to shift the day and time of a couple to eliminate conflicts. Merging the two collectives will hopefully allow us to attract more players and have more sustainable price-competitive games."
If you need more information, you can contact Al Smith at florida.bridge@florida-bridge.com
