| Dedication of the John Koch Library |
On Wednesday, we had a special game and the surprise (to John) dedication of the John Koch Library. John has donated hundreds of bridge books to the library - and more to come. John has contributed greatly to the education of the club, by writing books, giving lessons and now donating hundreds of books including a number he has written. Zach Wefel has been appointed as the librarian and in addition to books that can be signed out, he intends to include bidding boxes and boards so people can organize home bridge parties if they wish (Some people just can't get enough bridge). At this time, John will not be donating his collection of every Sports Illustrated ever printed.

| Last but Not Least Award Winner |
Missing from the pictures of Award Winners was Win Anderson who not only was first in the Mini-McKinney and Ace of Clubs for Unit 103 but also was first in the Ace of Clubs for District 14 (5 state area) and ranked in the top 20 Nationally! Family commitments prevented her from attending the luncheon in St Paul. So here is Win with her award!

| Award Winners |
Unit 103 (St Paul and all of outstate Minnesota) held their awards luncheon today and handed out awards to the winners of Club play (Ace of Clubs) and overall points winners (Mini-Mckinney) for each of the categories. St Cloud was well represented at the luncheon with 21 members of the club making the trek down to St Paul. (Thank you Bridge Club of St Paul for graciously hosted the event again!). An email was sent out earlier in the year with the winners as well as those who finished second or third. We had many players who were acknowledged today for their second and third place finishes, but here were the winners announced today.
