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,

We have another great event in store for you this year!
Once again we are holding our Sectional and I/N Regional at the Morse Event Center on the campus of Bushnell University in the heart of downtown Eugene. Our tournament starts on May 31 and runs through June 2.
Here’s more information from our tournament coordinator:
We would love to see you at the 2nd annual 2024 Eugene I/N Regional & Open Sectional hosted by Unit 479. If you are a newer player this event is specifically designed for you. You may earn Gold & Red points by playing and scoring well in the stratified Gold Rush event, which is limited to those non-life master players with 750 master points or fewer. The Open section is stratified and open to all players who might win silver master points.
Come for the yummy snacks and to meet great people for a fun weekend of bridge! It’s a great location at the Morse Event Center on the Bushnell University campus, adjacent to the U of O. Parking is free and plentiful. Click on the attached flyer for more details.
Please note: ACBL has informed me online registration will NOT be available for this tournament. Please arrive with plenty of time to get registered and have a snack. Payments will be taken with credit or debit card only; no cash is accepted.
I hope to see you soon.
