PRO-AM Game Tuesday, April 19^th was a great success with 22 ½ tables in two sections.  Many club members met for the first time as the Open and Limited players often play at different times.  It was a fun event enjoyed by all – Sid Sandifer and Chester Masztak were the overall winners with a 65.77% game.  Other winning pairs were:  Spike Lay and Judith Andrews, Vivian Heading and Larry Griffey, Louis Jones and Betty Plagmann.  Read more and see pictures of the PRO-AM.

At the Gatlinburg Regional Marilyn Garcia became a Diamond Life Master (5,000 points!) and Sid Sandifer earned his Life Master.  We are delighted and full of pride when two of our own have such success … Congratulations Marilyn and Sid. 

Our EasyBridge 1 class graduated on May 2^nd with a party and a game.  Congratulations to all and we hope to see you at many of our other games.

Tuesday afternoon Jackpot game gives you three chances to win.  You can win a free play before the game at Bridge Bingo, you can win masterpoints and of course, the Jackpot which is up to $70.  Thursday afternoon games now have hand records for the month of May. 

A printed club directory for our membership is in the final stages of development.  If you have an address, phone or E-mail change, please have it updated in the computer before May 20^th.  (The orange Member’s Directory at the bridge director’s desk shows the information currently on file.)  If you prefer not to have your E-mail address listed, please notify any bridge director.
