| October is ACBL Club Appreciation Month |
 During October, ACBL allows us both pair and team games that are TRIPLE points for each day we play, at no extra charge. AND, 5% of the team game awards are GOLD!
We'll play the pair games on Tuesday 10/3, Wednesday 10/11, and Friday 10/13 (that should be a lucky day). 
The team games are: Open Swiss Tuesday 10/10, Board-A-Match Wednesday 10/18, and Eight is Enough Friday 10/20.
All these games including the team games are stratified A/B/C.
For the Eight is Enough, the team requirements are:
- 1's are non-life masters
- 2's are Life Masters, Bronze Life Masters, and Silver Life Masters (<1500)
- 3's are Ruby Life Master and higher (>1500)
No team may be more than 8, because "Eight is Enough".

| 2023 NKBC Goals |
We missed our August growth target too.  So far, we are still on track to meet our yearly goal! AND, we have more monthly goals to achieve.
Our September goal is 132 tables. That's what we achieved in August, so let's do it again. 
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.
