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,

This coming Saturday is Unit 479’s ANNUAL PARTY AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS! Â FREE PLAY AND FREE PIZZA PARTY!
So instead of breakfast and bridge, we will start playing at 9:30 (no breakfast) – which will be followed by a pizza and salad lunch. Coburg pizzas and homemade salads – all compliments of the Unit as a thank you for your continuing support.
Once again, it would be great to have a limited game for all of you in the back room who have 0-349 Master Points. Please send Susie Leo your names to reserve your spots. susie@susieleo.com.
There will be a brief meeting after pizza to elect new officers to the Unit Board and to briefly tell you what the Unit is doing to further promote the game of bridge.
We hope to see all of you next Saturday.
