Ellen McCumsey’s efforts with running the free tournaments we feel merit a plaque at the club. Here is what is on the plaque. Since we will not be at the club for who knows when, we thought we would share it with you here.

News from Don:

Most of you know “the sisters,” Lois and Janne (Fisher & Davis). I have spoken with both of them. They are doing well, sort of. Lois is now living at The Springs and she is not real excited about that. I am sure they would both enjoy hearing from folks. Janne is 541.461.1847 and Lois is 541.338.8689.

I also checked in with Norma. (541.607.2325). As you know, she is at Terpening Terrace. Norma would love to hear from folks. She is in sort of perpetual lock-down. She has to go out for an eye appointment once a month. When she comes back from that, she has to quarantine in her room for at least two weeks. Not ideal. She sounds like she is doing well in spite of it all. Of course, she expresses how much she misses all of us and being able to be at the tables.

Bill Matthews had a brief stay at Southtown for a short rehab situation and he is now back home. He expresses that he is glad to be back home, of course. Bill tried playing online with Jeff K and he said it was just too much. He got too confused, even with Sharron (Wife Sharron) trying to help him. It was just a little sad hearing it. Bill’s number is 541.1854.

Starting June 1, we’re starting a new game schedule using hands from the Common Game. See our calendar for the schedule. Participants will receive scores by email shortly after the game. Others can access the Common Game site for our club to see scores and view hand records.

Ali Nice recently received recognition from Barbara Seagram for scoring 100% on Barbara’s Quarantine Quiz #5, then proceeded to win a drawing for one of Barbara’s books and recognition on her website. Congratulations, Ali! (May, 2020)
