Feedback from the survey was generally positive. Based on this feedback, the NKBC Board of Directors has asked for a plan for continuing the Thursday games through Year End 2026.
A summary of the views expressed by game participants is given in the attached document: 4EsurveyResults.pdf. If you have questions about this document, please contact Cordell.

| A Second Look at Thursday 7/2 |

The hands at last Thursday's 4-Is-Enough game were a pre-holiday "treat". Joe takes a second look at some of those hands in this link:
A Second Look 7-02.pdf.
He offers an excellent view of how we might have done better. It's worth your time even if you didn't play these hands.
Here's Joe's review of previous Thursday games in case you missed them:

| NEW Thursday Game |

Our Thursday games have been a great success. The next Thursday game is July 23.
Please plan to join us. If you can, please let Howard or Cordell know you'd like to play. Here's the remaining schedule:
| Thursday July 23 @11:00 |
| Thursday August 6 @11:00 |
| Thursday August 27 @11:00 |
We start at 11:00 and finish before 3:00, and play about 18-22 hands. The cost is just $2. The game is perfect for beginning players and mentoring pairs.
We play a slower paced game on Thursdays. It's a great way to learn. We have a lot of fun and talk about the hands as we play them.
These games award ACBL masterpoints and are configured as a "4-Is-Enough" game. Anyone may play, but players with more than 1000 masterpoints must partner with someone who holds less than 500.
Please join us.
