| William Stine is Moving to Oregon |
Our great friend William Stine is moving to 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!
