Stop the Spread of Germs
As cold and flu season continues, remember to practice good hygiene. Washing your hands thoroughly or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer will go a long way, and if you’re sick, you should stay home to protect others. You can see more useful information at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.

| Charity Games |
The ACBL requires clubs that wish to hold charity games to hold one Charity Game to benefit the ACBL Charity, then the club is able to run other games to benefit local charities as it wishes. Charity games offer more Masterpoints than ordinary games and are usually offered at no extra cost to club members. Members were canvassed for suggestions during October and voted to have the proceeds donated to Niagara-on-the-Lake Palliative Care in 2019.
