| Team Games - Alan McIlwain |
We are running evening team games on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at 6:15 PM as long as we have enough interest. If we can, we'll play a Swiss Team game, but if we have a small or odd number of tables it will be a Round-Robin.
Each team is asked to bring a light snack or dessert dish. Bring your own drinks.
Please register ahead by the Thursday evening with Donna McIlwain at dmc3726@yahoo.com, and provide player names so we can set the games up in advance to save time.

| NAP Qualifiers - Alan McIlwain |
For those of you who played in the NAP Qualifier games, you can find the District 9 qualifiers at https://web2.acbl.org/documentLibrary/play/NAP_Qualifiers/NAP_D9.htm. They may take a short while to get posted.
We received the following notice:
"The Unit 128 Board of Governors approved providing sponsorships to Qualified Unit 128 only - Flight C players who participate in the NAP District 9 Finals held at the Daytona Regional on Sunday, November 10.
Basically, Unit 128 will pay the District 9 NAP, 2-session entry fee for a qualified Unit 128, Flight C player(s).
We hope that Flight C players, if they win, plan to attend the NABC tournament in Memphis (March 22-23, 2025), as well.
Historically, Unit 128 and District 9 offer stipends to winners to attend the NABC and that decision is made toward the latter part of 2024."

Dr. Athena Gordon
Unit 128, Secretary
