Dan Lubesnik has been a fixture at the bridge
tables in Arcadia for as long as I've been here.
I'll always remember him for his gentlemanly
manner and the ubiquitous sport coat he wore to
the bridge club.
Dan passed away last Sunday the 20th. The Unit
Game that day was named in his honor.
Thompson Jin and Dan Lubesnik

District 23 North American Pairs finals in
October.
Learn Montreal Relay
This Wednesday, April 30, at 9:30 AM
before the Open Pairs game, Jan Wickersham will
conduct a seminar on a unique and interesting
bidding system variation known as the Montreal
Relay.
It's a fascinating variation. If you and your
partner enjoy tinkering with bidding systems,
this one is worth your time. I won't try to talk
about the system, come hear Jan talk about it
Wednesday morning!
(I'll be at the club right at 9:30 to open the
doors.)
Stunning results from April charity game
Last April 16 we hosted the ACBL Charity Game
#2. The game comes with big national and
district masterpoint awards. The top twenty
nationally, and top five in each district, get
big masterpoint awards.
Surprise! Our club appears to have been the
only one reporting from District 23. Our
district consists of Los Angeles County only.
We're surrounded by District 22 which covers the
remainder of Southern California.
As a result, our club's top five finishers were
also the top five finishers in the district! The
full results
are at this link (scroll down to District
23).
Congratulations to John Barrow and Karen
Arase who claimed first place and a cool
10 masterpoints. :)
Upcoming Glitter Games in May
The ACBL is converting local club game awards
into 25% silver and 25% gold later this month.
