It is with a deep sadness that we share the passing of Luella Becken, on Tuesday, July 16.
Luella was a longstanding member of our unit. A professional dancer for twenty-five years, Luella graced stages from Hollywood to New York City with tours in Las Vegas. She and her late husband retired in the desert and bridge became her passion. She shared her infectious enthusiasm for the game, and with life in general, with her partners and competitors. Her favorite club was the one holding an Open game on the day she was playing. Luella was chosen to receive the Edith Hirschman Sportsmanship Award in 2016, a fitting tribute to a woman who embodied the special qualities that all bridge players should aspire to demonstrate at the tables. Luella is survived by her three devoted friends in Unit 533 – William Stine, Jerry Ritter and Gary Bolton.

| Two Open Seats on the Unit Board |
The Unit 533 Board of Directors has accepted with deep regret the resignation of Carol Wilkinson. Carol has served the membership with unwavering energy and commitment. She has led our partnership efforts at Sectionals and Regionals for nearly ten years. Her resignation leaves the Board with two open seats to be filled immediately by appointment by the Board. The board is seeking two enthusiastic, energetic people to serve the Unit 533 membership. If you would be willing to serve on the Board or know of a good candidate, please contact William Stine at stinewilliam@gmail.com.
