NEWCOMER GAME!
Starting in October, OBC will offer an ACBL sanctioned game for all players with 0-20 points. These games will be held very Tuesday at 12:00. Come play in a comfortable and friendly environment. Stay tuned for the exact start date!
2024 MASTERPOINT RACE
Do you ever wonder who is winning all the Masterpoints? The data shows that it is Lynn McKinney with 120, Charlie Miner with 115, Gloria McCain with 95, Jeff Ritchie with 78, and John Reitz with 77. There is still time to catch up and overtake these players so come out and play!
FOOD, FOOD AND MORE FOOD!
Thanks to everyone who has brought in food to share. Special thanks to Mickey Poole, who has been sending home-baked goodies with Perry, and Beth and Tom Frazee for the delicious Danish Kringles. If you are not a baker and enjoy the desserts, please consider making a cash donation to the OBC hospitality fund.
THE RETURN OF THE LUNCH BUNCH!
Starting September 26, every Thursday OBC invites you to bring in your lunch to the Parish Hall at 11:30 and break bread with your friends and bridge partners. Enjoy some time prior to the game, discussing bridge strategy or enjoy catching up with each other. The original Lunch Bunch included Jean Hatcher and Pat Watkins who have gone to bridge heaven! They would be thrilled about the return of this tradition.

LET’S CELEBRATE!
The first week of every month OBC will serve a cake to celebrate all the great things happening at our club. Please let us know if it is your birthday month, if you’ve gotten engaged/married or celebrating an anniversary, had any new babies/grandbabies, had a rank change, had a 70% game or just happy to be playing bridge and love your partner!
LESSONS AND SUPERVISED PLAY
Thanks to the leadership and teaching of Patty Estes, we have 12-15 new players every Tuesday morning at 10:00 playing supervised Bridge. We hope to start a 20 and under game soon. There is still time to join - Invite your friends and family!
Shine the Spotlight
Each month OBC will randomly select one of our players to tell us your story. We want to hear about your life, and family, history, career, and bridge experiences. We will feature these stories on our website. Let’s get to know one another – surprise us with a little-known tidbit about yourself. Your cub reporter (yet unnamed) will soon be contacting you! Of course this is optional!
