| Play Bridge Online Supporting Local Clubs |
Some of our local clubs are now offering their own virtual games on Bridge Base Online (BBO), where play is just with players at that club, and black points are awarded. Check the news on the right side of our home page, and your local club's website for more info.
In addition, BBO is offering daily games that support our local clubs, with black points awarded. Go to the BBO website information page by clicking here to learn how to use BBO and play in these games at 7:00 am, 2:10 pm and 4:30 pm.

Jamie Alperin, a long-time favorite director and instructor of many of us in the Coachella Valley, has moved to Las Vegas. We hate to lose a good friend of many years, but we wish Jamie the best in all that comes next!

Our great friend William Stine now lives in Oregon—a new job opportunity and a chance to be closer to family. He will be SORELY missed in our valley! As a two-term member of the Unit 533 Board, he served as President and Vice-President, spearheaded all Unit Games and Sectionals and four Non-Life Master Regionals. He was named the Unit 533 Volunteer of the Year in 2015. William always went above and beyond to help any and all of his fellow bridge players. Just this year, William was selected as ACBL’s Goodwill Member of the Year. The March 2020 ACBL Bridge Bulletin announcing his selection is appropriately titled
“Mr. Everything...William Stine.”
Thank you for all you’ve done and are, William!
