    349ers: Please Sign Up for the Unit Game on January 20

    From Susie Leo:

    Hi Backroom Bridgers,

    At the December Unit game, the 349ers had a situation where there was a very slow pace of play. That situation has been resolved and will not be a problem ever again. So if you were hesitant to sign up for the January 20 Unit game, fear not! All is well and everyone will move right along!

    Here is the list of players to date. There are 3 full tables, which I think gives you your own section. But let’s fill the room with lively and happy players!

    Sue/Diane
    Doug/Joyce
    Anne B/Kristi
    Glenda/Brian
    Dan/June
    Ed/Carol

    George G. is looking for a partner.

    Please send me an email with your names. susie@susieleo.com

    Thanks!
    Susie

    349ers: Two Events in January You’ll Want to Attend

    From Susie Leo:

    Hi 349ers!

    I wanted to remind you that there are TWO events in January that you will totally love to attend! I promise. Actually There are actually events at our club on every Saturday in January, but I am only addressing the ones that are of special interest to you!

    Saturday, January 20 is the UNIT game. You know the drill. Please email me (susie@susieleo.com) if you plan to attend so we can reserve the back room for you. If you don’t have a partner, ask around or find one through this email address. I will send out updated lists so you can see if someone needs a pard. We would love to have another great turnout!

    Saturday, January 27 is the Mentor/Mentee game at 9:30. If you have never participated in one of these, NOW is the time! You will totally love it! Basically, you will be paired with someone who has more experience than you do. It is FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, and ENCOURAGING to get to play with someone like our wonderful Mentors.

    I will send out more information in the next week or so about the Mentor/Mentee game. There is a Sign Up Sheet at the club on the bulletin board. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!

    Happy New Year!

    Susie

    We had seven tables of revelers at our New Year’s Eve game and potluck. It was a fun evening of fabulous food (thanks to all!), bridge, and a little bubbly.

    New Year’s Eve Game and Potluck

    Assuming we get enough tables, we will hold our annual Laurie Hunter New Year’s Eve Game at the club. It is a potluck and the game time is 6:30. We usually take a few “champagne breaks” and generally have a good time. Please sign up at the club or let us know if you plan to attend.
