| Club Managers' Weekly Message - Week of June 24th |
Members of the Palm Coast Duplicate Bridge Club:
Jinty is still tending to matters out of town, so her class this Thursday is canceled. She'll resume with her class the following Thursday.
Gerry Calabrese wanted to thank our members who donated puzzles for Las Palmas. The staff, and more particularly the Residents there, appreciate it very much.
Patrick is away on a well-deserved vacation. As always, we appreciate the additional help from Tom Fletcher and Richard Perez.
We had a very nice week of STaC games and, of course, our Longest Day event last Thursday. We had a good day of bridge and a very nice lunch. We raised quite a lot the benefit of the Alzheimer's Association. We'll get the grand total to you just as soon as we can, but it was a very good effort. Thank you to all who contributed and who came to play.
In our STaC games last week, we had two notable pairs that finished well against all players in Unit 128. On Tuesday, in the 299er section, Cynthia Sher and Nancy Ditmer finished 2nd overall, and on Friday, in the Open section, Mike Dalton and Scott Weiss finished 3rd overall.
This week, we have all North American Pairs (NAP) Qualifying Games. You could qualify to go on to the next level and ultimately to the Nationals, if you wish. All points awarded in the Open Section and in the A Stratum in the 499er section are half Red and half Black. In the 499er section, it doesn't matter if you are in the B or C Stats to start. If you finish with a good enough score, you can still get the "A" Stratum award.
We have 4 more weeks of NAP planned after this week, two weeks in July and two weeks in August.
