| Club Managers' Weekly Message - Week of November 18th |
Members of the Palm Coast Duplicate Bridge Club:
We learned this week that Mary Ann Clark, a long time member member of our Club and the community, passed away recently. She was 91 years old. Mary Ann was a regular at the Club, and was often seen with her favorite partner, Martha Ferguson. She moved to Illinois a while ago to be with her family.
You can read her obituary on FlaglerLive.com by clicking here. If desired, memorial contributions may be made to Trinity Presbyterian Church, in Palm Coast.
Sylvia is requesting some help this Tuesday. The tables need some cleaning, so if you would like to help, please plan to remain a bit longer after the game on Tuesday. Sylvia said last time it went quickly. It should only take 20 - 30 minutes if we have enough people to help.
We're going to be collecting dues for 2020 shortly. Renew your membership early for the discounted price of $20.00. This year, we are asking members to provide their full birth date (if desired), so we can recognize our members' milestone birthdays.
The Spring Tournament is approaching and will be here before you know it. We'll be putting out a sign-up board for various tasks and food donations in time, but right now, we would like everybody to know just how important Tournaments are to the club.
There is no other way to put it. Without two very successful tournaments each year, the club would not be able to continue operations. This means that the games you like to attend regularly during the week may not be able to continue. This is not an exaggeration. We say this often, but it's true. If you want to help the club, the easiest and best thing you can do is to commit to playing in as many tournament sessions as you are able. When we have well-attended tournaments, it contributes to the experience for all who attend, our members, our friends at neighboring clubs, and our guests. We hope the experience will be one that encourages all who attend to return the next time.
Let's be known as a club with one of the most well-attended tournaments in the area. Do your part and come to play. You'll be helping the club to provide an enjoyable experience for all who attend.
