From Susie Leo:
Not only are there enough 349er players to fill the back room, but there is also another wonderful thing happening at the unit game on Saturday (April 20).
Don Marsh is going to give a short lesson on 2 hands right after the game is over! It’s true!
If you want to continue to improve your game, stay for his lesson.
Food, bridge, AND education! Does it get any better than that?
Breakfast at 9am, bridge at 9:30.
See you Saturday!
Susie

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,
Brenda Olsen’s memorial service will be on Saturday, April 13, at the Creswell Presbyterian Church located at 75 S 4th St, Creswell.
Long-time club member Brenda Olsen passed away on March 24.
From Joyce Spence:
Oh no I am so so sorry to hear this. I’ve known Brenda since the 80’s when we were neighbors in Pleasant Hill. Such a lively woman.
From June Brooks:
It’s very sad. I’ve spent many hours down in Creswell playing with her. She taught me many things about our game and was always in good humor when she was playing, She was a lovely woman and I and all of us at the club will miss her.
From Ali and Martin Nice:
We are saddened to hear of Brenda’s passing. Such a wonderful, sweet woman. We are happy she was able to come over and see her father’s house (now our home) before she passed away. She will be missed.
From Vern Katz:
She was a dear dear soul. She will be missed! This has been a sad few months.
From Ned Forman:
Always a bright and friendly smile. I will miss her, but always remember.
From Jill Foster:
I am so sorry to hear about Brenda’s passing. She was always bright spot.
Another great turnout at the unit game on March 16: 8½ tables in the open and 5 in the limited section, even on a precious sunny day.
And once again we managed to feed everyone with a great breakfast.
Thank you all for coming out and supporting our unit and bridge in Eugene/Springfield.
See you next month!
Join us on Saturday, March 16 for our monthly Unit Game.
Complementary breakfast starts at 9am, bridge starts at 9:30.
We’ll have a 499er limited section if we get enough players.
Fom Susie Leo:
The last Mentor/Mentee game was a smashing success! Everyone had a great time, friendships were made, new ideas were shared….and so many other wonderful things. Back by popular demand, our next Mentor/Mentee game will be on Saturday, April 27 at 9:30am. Don will do the pairings again.
If you and your Mentor/Mentee partner want to be paired together again, please let Don know. There are advantages to a continued partnership as well as advantages to trying new people to play with. There will most likely be changes is who can play, so be sure to SIGN UP AT THE CLUB! The sign up sheets will be on the bulletin board by next Tuesday. Don’t delay reserving your spot.
For those on the bubble (450-499 master points), you may be a Mentor or a Mentee, depending on how many people sign up. So just pick a list and we will know you want to play.
Many thanks and sign up and have fun!
Susie
