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,
From Susie Leo:
The next Unit game is Saturday, November 16. Let’s fill that back room with lots of fun and friendship (and good bridge). Please let me know if you plan to play in the limited game. Send your names to me at susie@susieleo.com.
For anyone who is new, there is fabulous food at 9:00 and bridge begins at 9:30.
See you there!
SusieHi Everyone,

Sherri and Don
Hi 349ers!
The next Unit Game is Saturday, October 19. To be clear, that is NOT this coming Saturday (UO vs Ohio State day). It is the following Saturday. Food and conversation at 9:00 and bridge at 9:30.
Please email me with your name and partner’s name if you want to reserve a place in the Limited Game room (back room). Let’s have a great turnout and fill all the tables!
Many thanks to all of you for supporting your/our Unit with this great event. Many thanks also to our chefs….I can’t recall right now who they are, but it will be fabulous food I am sure.

Ellen is promoting online limited games on Wednesday evening and asked us to send this out:
Starting on Wednesday, October 9th, EBC will host three games simultaneously on BBO.
6:00 pm 18-board 199er game
6:15 pm 18-board 499er game
6:30 pm Regular open gameIt is very important that we support the 199er and 499er games. Three tables are needed for each game to run. If these games don’t succeed, the only none-open game will be the once a month 299er Unit Game, so please make an effort to play.
We specifically asked for 18 board games for the 199er and 499er games so that they don’t run for more than 2 hours. If we decide later we’d like more boards, Don will change it. The Albany/Corvallis Bridge Club has been invited in hopes of picking up a few more tables.
Can’t come to Seaside for D20’s Regional Tournament? Tournament manager Jim Wheeler has added two 2-session events to be played online on BBO on Sunday, October 6. There will be an Open game and a Gold Rush game where you can earn regionally-rated gold and red points. Game times are noon and 5:00 pm, PST. The games are open to D20 players only and are $17/session for ACBL members. You can register online on BBO starting on Saturday, October 5, at noon.
From Susie Leo:
We have three tables confirmed for Saturday. Let’s round up at least 8 more players so we can have 5 full tables! Think of the fun of eating fabulous food at 9:00 and then playing bridge with your buddies at 9:30. As Uncle Sam used to say “WE WANT YOU!!!!!” Har!
Reply to me at susie@susieleo.com to reserve your spot if you haven’t done so.
Thank you!
