Update on Club Finances
Here is an update from Carol Schmitz.
It is now 3-1/2 months since we were all able to play bridge face to face. I was just getting to know everyone!! How times have changed – and will remain changed for some time to come.
As the newest member of EBC and the Unit 479 Board, I can’t tell you how impressed I am with how everyone has rallied to save this club with your donations. I know Don and Sherri have expressed their appreciation for everything everyone has done to keep this club alive – and now to keep us playing online on BBO.
As Treasurer of the Unit, I wanted to give everyone an update on where we stand with regard to donations and expenditures toward this effort. I have received checks for the “save bridge” fund in the amount of $8,700.60 as of last week. I reimbursed EBC for operating expenses of $1,068.59 for April and $1,035.60 for May.
EBC said they made enough money from online games for June that they were able to cover their overhead expenses with an excess of $576. This is great news for them and for the general membership.
Bottom line is we have a “rainy day” fund of $6,596.41 from your generous donations.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments,
Join us Saturday, November 15 for breakfast at 9am, bridge at 9:30am. If you’re a 349er, please contact Susie Leo (susie@susieleo.com) if you plan on attending. We’ll have a 349er game if we get enough people.
See you there!
From Betsy Ovitt:
Hi everyone,
We had 18 folks get CPR/AED training at the club last week. We are well covered for real first responders.
Oregon CPR does offer classes at their office on Centennial if anyone wants to get trained. The classes are on their website.
Thanks to Oregon CPR and everyone who volunteered to get this training.
These partnerships picked up silver points at the Corvallis sectional November 1-2.

Here is an explanation of how the Greenhouse bridge game is run.
If you’ve never attended a Greenhouse game, email Meda Brown (medabrown@gmail.com) and let her know you’d like to get announcements about future games.
Friendly Bridge at the “Greenhouse” is played Mondays at the historic McNail Riley House located across from the Lane Events Center, 601 W. 13th Ave, Eugene, OR 97402. Parking is available on the Lane Events Center property at the corner of 13th and Jefferson. Some people find on-street parking along Jefferson.
Folks show up between 9am – 9:15am to help set up. We set up tables/chairs and hand-shuffle the boards before we play.
Game starts by 9:30am, usually 9:15am . It depends on all teams being present and boards shuffled.
Meda Brown or Bruce Anderson send out an invitation every week around Tuesday or so asking who intends to participate the next week. Based on the response, hopefully by Friday/Saturday of that week, they confirm they have enough people for at least 3 tables and make arrangements (set the game schedule).
Players shuffle the boards themselves so there are no hand records available, but each pair is scored and ranked, with the results sent out after the game.
Many of you already know about this game.
Bruce Anderson hosts a weekly duplicate game at the Greenhouse on the corner of 13th and Jefferson. This is not ACBL sanctioned, but gives us another chance to play in person here in town. A number of folks from our club play there.
The game is held Mondays at 9:30am. Bruce asks that you try to be there at 9:15 so he knows how many players there are and to help with shuffling and dealing the hands.
If you’re interested, please call Mike Wenzel at (541) 653-4115.
