Announcements

All games the week of December 27 are now online due to snow. The Tuesday and Thursday games are now regular point games due to going online. The New Years Eve game IS still a Club Championship game, awarding extra points.

The Eugene-Springfield bridge community, District 20 and the bridge world at large have lost one of the true giants of the game with Jeff Taylor’s passing. Jeff died in his sleep on December 21st.

Right now, we are all in shock. Of course, we must all go forward but it is hard to imagine bridge in our area without Jeff.

We send our thoughts to Linda, whom we know to be struggling right now per her own health, and to his children Russ and Kathleen.

We will have more to say about Jeff at a later date. Right now the plans are for a Celebration of Life sometime in the Spring or Summer.

Here’s a little bit of Jeff’s history that we put together a while back.

This Omicron thing is scary, and it is here or about to be.

We need to be aggressive per masking. Please get a good mask for use at the club (N95, KN95, K94). And be sure it completely covers your nose and mouth.

We are trying to keep the place open. Please. Let’s see if we can get through this.

Here are some sites to search for quality masks:
