Greetings from Minneapolis! Jane and I arrived
Sunday night, and we'll be attending the
American Bridge Teachers Association annual
conference Monday through Wednesday.
Yesterday at the conference I introduced Robert
Todd for his presentation. This morning at 11:00
I did a presentation of my own. I showed the
teachers how I do the Saturday morning workshops
using the hands from Eddie Kantar's "Thinking
Bridge" collection. It seemed to go really well.
One of the players last Saturday morning
suggested, "Maybe you should just keep that to
yourself and have it be our own special thing."
Naaah, but duly noted!
On Wednesday morning they'll announce the
winner of the Teacher of the Year award. I'll
have my fingers crossed, and let you know!
Lulu Minter seminar July 20
Monday, July 20, we're holding a special game
in memory of Rosario "Charo" Holdo. The game
will be free of charge, and scored as an
"Upgraded Club Championship." The unit is
graciously providing a Mexican lunch from
Vallarta. It's going to be a bit longer game
than usual, so plan to stay later! (We may
postpone the "Workshop with Zachary.")
Lulu Minter will be offering a seminar on
"Defense Topics" at 10:00 before the game! I've
reserved the Community Room down the hall, so
there will be plenty of room for people to
attend before our game starts. Lulu says that
Charo was one of his favorite students.
For all of these reasons, we expect the bridge
club to be completely full that day. As of right
now, there are 11 tables reserved. We will
probably reconfigure the club to hold 19 tables,
so it will be a little crowded.
No classes this week
We have a great new lineup of courses starting
next week, July 15. I'll be sending an email
with all the details in the next couple of
days.
Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction is
starting up on Wednesday evening, July 15. If
you know someone who would like to attend, have
them register
with PCC Extension at this link.
Coming up ...
The week of July 21-25 will be NAP Qualifiers.
(The Monday game will not be an NAP
game, but an upgraded club championship
instead.) Win 50% red points, and earn your "Q"
for the the District Final game on October 4.
Best regards
Mojo, Jane, Zachary, Lisa, Susan
