Tuesday 5/30 is a 5th week game, so let's have a party. The theme for our party will be 'A Spring Mix', and if you'd like to bring some food to share at our party, please sign up at the club.
Since it's a party, we'll offer double points (at no extra charge).
This is our first team game of the year and it will be an Open Swiss game. All teams are welcome, and like our pairs games, this game will be stratified A/B/C.

| 8 Is Enough (8=E) game Friday 6/30 |
 It's just our second team game of the year, but our first 8 Is Enough (8=E) game.
The goal for 8=E team games is to mix up the teams to create a more balanced field. It can be great time for mentors and mentees to be on a team together.
To that end, everyone is assigned a "point" range from 1-3. And, every team must have no more than 8 "points" on their 4 person team. Your point assignment is based roughly as follows:
- 1 "point" is 0-300 ACBL Masterpoints
- 2 "points is 300-1500 ACBL Masterpoints
- 3 "points" is 1500+ ACBL Masterpoints
For all NKBC members, your 8=E "point" assignment for this game is now set. It will not change for this game and is detailed here. If you are considering a team member who is not an NKBC member (and anyone may play), use the table above and/or see Cordell.

| May The Force Be With You |
 Peggy will continue her lessons for beginners on Wednesdays 6/21 & 6/28.
She has entitled these lessons "May The Force Be With You". She hopes these lessons will help you 'use the force' to peek into your opponents hands thereby enabling you to make the right play.
Please join us and 'May The Force Be With You'.

| 2023 NKBC Goals |
You did it again (and again)! You have beaten our goal 4 months in a row. In April we managed 111.5 tables, ending the month with a FREE game at our awards party. How perfect!
Can we do it 5 months in a row? The goal for May will be slightly higher than April at 118 tables. More tables than last month, but more games. I think we can do it!
The chart shows our table count goals and our progress. We very much need your to help achieve these goals. The monthly goals are about 25% more than last year. Achieving them will get us back to pre-pandemic levels. And putting the pandemic behind us is something we'd all like to see happen this year!
Each month, if we reach our monthly goal, we'll celebrate by making the game when we reach our goal a free game for all attending!
You can help by encouraging all you know to come and enjoy a game of duplicate bridge at NKBC.
