| THE KHATIB LEGACY |
Dr. Reza Khatib remains a dedicated club player, though mostly on-line these days. He is the bridge center's founder and is honored as Lifelong Chairman of the Board and voting board member. In launching the Bridge Center, he brought sectional tournament play to Martin County and has worked to promote bridge among younger players. He serves as the Bridge Center’s landlord as well.
The ACBL's Tribute of 2024 to Reza and to his late wife Georgianna honors not only a strong dedication to Bridge but also to quality-of-life projects in America and overseas,. They have built classrooms and senior hospice facilities, supported civil engineering projects and training, and have worked with two American universities to advance religious studies and promote understanding among people of many faiths. Such Khatib humanitarian works were made possible by Reza’s many years of success as a renowned brain surgeon and advancer of medical research and clinical practice. Several major medical institutes will continue to enjoy in perpetuity his endowments for the research and treatment of brain illness here and around the world.
We invite you to celebrate Reza's recent 95th Birthday and review more of his wonderful career and cultural achievements by visiting his personal website, DRKHATIB.ORG.

| THE MEMORY TREE |
|
The Memory Tree was created to remember and honor those members of Khatib Bridge Center who have passed away. The Tree was donated by club member Phyllis Sutch. Questions can be directed to her through the club.
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣
How it works: When you donate $100 you may then select a commemorative suit. Your suit's placard will then be engraved with the name of the deceased member and attached to the tree. All monies collected are allocated to a special fund. These donations have been used for projects such as the purchase of our club's new chairs.
To add a placard, please provide the name of the player to be honored, the chosen suit, and a check payable to Khatib Bridge Center, marked for Memory Tree.
