Here's what is happening in June:
We have 2 remaining North American Pair Qualifier games this month: Saturday 6/21 and Thursday 6/26. The Alzheimer's Longest Day Fundraiser game is this Friday 6/20. If you can't make it to our game this Friday but still want to help us raise money for Alzheimer's - here is the link to our fundraising page - http://act.alz.org/site/TR?fr_id=19146&pg=team&team_id=955702
Sneak Peek into July:
There are 3 NAP qualifier games in July (50% Red, 50% Black); Friday 7/4, Monday 7/14, and Thursday 7/31. There are 2 club championship games, both on Saturdays - 7/12 and 7/19. There are 3 Glitter point games in conjunction with ACBL Clubhouse; Thursday and Friday 7/17 and 7/18 are Red hot Challenges with the points 50% red, and Monday 7/21 is a Silver Sliver game with the points being 25% Silver.

YOU are the CHAMPIONS, my FRIEND
The ACBL allows each club to run two Club Championship games per quarter for each game day/time. Friendly has four games per week, thus we get eight club championship games per quarter. These games award more masterpoints than regular games. When I stumbled upon some "Bridge Club Champion" trophies, I decided we could have fun making use of these trophies. Thus our Club Championship games now come complete with trophies (at least for the photo op), and the winners of the Club Championship games will be the REIGNING club champions - until the next Club Championship game.
From Monday 5/26's game Jay Gibson and John Schwartz and Debrah Chockley and Jim Harp (not pictured) are the current reigning Club Champions,
From Saturday 5/24's game -Jim Thurtell and John Schwartz
The Thursday's 5/22 game winners were Roz Smith and Mary Lynn Genovesi
and Friday 5/16's game winners were Nancy O'Fallon and Janet Meyer.
Congratulations to the above winners, and we look forward to seeing more of you compete for Friendly CLUB CHAMPIONS!!
