In Memory

We filled twelve tables for breakfast and bridge on Saturday, including five tables in the 299er section.

This was a special day. Don announced that with Jon Neimand’s generous matching contribution, our club raised over $5000 for Food for Lane County. Don expressed his appreciation to Jon for his donation and all he has done to promote bridge in Eugene/Springfield over the years.

In addition to Jon, we honored Jeff Taylor with this donation. Jeff was a big supporter of Food for Lane County and organized many fundraisers at our club during ACBL charity weeks over the years. We lost Jeff suddenly in December, 2021.

Thank you to everyone in our club who helped out this charity week. It’s yet another reminder of the caring and generosity of our bridge community.

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.

Bridge at 9:30am with a potluck and sharing afterward.

Long-time club member Sharron Lyons passed away yesterday.

From Sherri and Don:

With great sadness we need to tell you that Sharron has passed away.  At her request, there will be no service, however, we will do something at the club in her honor at a later date.

Sharron was a Table 1 fixture at our club. A Ruby Life Master with a BBO user name of “Roadkill”, she was always a formidable opponent. The club has lost a dedicated member and won’t be quite the same without her.

Our condolences to the family.
