Take a Seat, Please! |
After several years of use, the seat coverings on 200 chairs have deteriorated and need to be replaced. Through the generous donation of John Garrison and installation assistance from Ron Andrews, we have repaired the first 24 chairs. They look great.
At a cost of close to $20,000, we need Member support to deal with this somewhat large and unanticipated expense. We’re asking for your help in raising the needed funds.
Here are three suggestions for donations:
Table Donors = 4 Chairs at $100 = $400
Pair Donors = 2 Chairs at $100 = $200
Single Chair Donors = 1 Chair at $100
To donate, you can pay in person at the club; send a check to Vero Beach Bridge Club, 1520 14th Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32960; or
CLICK HERE
to pay by credit card. As we are a 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is tax deductible.
On behalf of the Board, the Club Managers and all of us who appreciate the importance of comfortable seating, thank you for supporting this effort.

Online Bridge |
The FLORIDA BRIDGE COLLECTIVE (FBC)
is a new group of clubs that are coming together
to offer a wide range of online games
to members of independent Florida bridge clubs
Starting April 3rd
Game Days - Every Day of the Week on BBO
Game Times mornings @ 9:25 a.m. for 0-750; 9:30 a.m. for Open
On BBO - go to Virtual Clubs, then ACBL, North America,
then look for 750 FLORIDA VERO BEACH for 750 games
FBC will also offer Open games in the afternoon and some evening games under the ‘Florida’ title.
Note: If your partner is not a member of VBBC the procedure is as follows:
The member must invite the non-member to play online. The invite will appear on the non-member’s screen and the non-member must accept.
In addition, if a non-member wishes to play with another non-member, he or she should click on the Competitive tab, then All Tournaments, and search Florida, and the game will appear.
In this case, either non-member may then chat the director for permission.
VBBC receives a portion of all fees for any VBBC member who plays in these games
and increased share for Vero sponsored morning games
For further details and full game schedule
go to: florida-bridge.com

CONVENTION CARDS ARE REQUIRED |

Full Disclosure |
Bridge is not a game of secret messages, it is a game of full diclosure - your opponents are entitled to know your agreements and the meanings of your bids. This starts with two filled out convention cards. The announcement and alert procedures further facilitate notifying your opponents as to your conventional understandings. It is your responsibility to understand which of your agreements do not require an alert, require an announcement, require an alert or require a post auction period alert. You can click on this story to go to a long, but very skimmable, ACBL document on Alert Procedures.
