    Kudos to Unit 479 Board

    At our recent unit board election and pizza party, we were reminded once again of the contribution that our unit leadership has made to bridge in our area.

    And it was just announced by someone that our unit is officially the best-fed in the district.

    Thanks to everyone who has worked to achieve these successes:

    Officers:
    Betsy Ovitt, President
    Doug Berg, Vice-President (out-going)
    Marna Knoer, Secretary
    Carole Schmitz, Treasurer

    George Greenwald Has Passed Away

    From Sherri and Don: We are sorry to have to pass along the sad news that George passed away Friday. He was a valued member and did an amazing job mentoring many new players.

    From Terry Nagle: I had many enjoyable games playing with George in my early days at EBC.

    From Joanie Fulton: George was my partner and taught me so much. As a rocket scientist and holocaust survivor he always had the last word. A wonderful man.

    From Bob Gemmer: I am so sorry to hear this! George and I played together a number of times. I treasure the memories of playing with him!
