Our club is closed during the Daytona Regional, October 31st through November 6th.  However, there will be plenty of bridge to be played at the Regional so we hope to see you there.  For more details check the Flyer or Calendar & Events.
Remember to vote on November 7th at our club if you have not already done so by absentee ballot.  The candidates for Board of Directors are: John Dunlap, Roger Koehler, Lorne MacMonagle, Judith McCall, Connie Murtaugh and Bruce Ohmann; three will be elected to the Board.

Our Annual Meeting will be Monday, November 14th at 1:00 PM.  Come early for a free luncheon starting around noon ... it should be Wunderbar!

It's time to renew your Club Membership.  The $10 annual dues cover the period Nov 1, 2005 - Oct 31, 2006.  It would also be a good time to pick up your Membership Directory, if you haven't do so already.

The Arlette Schutte Memorial Swiss Game will be played Friday night, November 11th.  A dinner will be served at 6;00 PM with the game starting at 7:00 PM.  Please sign up at the club on the white board.  It will be the normal Friday Night format: come as a pair and teams are randomly drawn.

Please remember to return library books after a month so others may have a crack at them.  Many thanks to those have who have donated books; your generosity has made the Library a success.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

On the web site:  The Bulletin Board is becoming a very exciting place with over 80 messages posted.  One of the most active Forums is the "Goren Bridge Column" where each hand from Saturday's newspaper column is discussed.  If you have never used a Bulletin Board before, take a look around and read the messages that interest you.  We have a Bulletin Board Guide (pdf) to help you get started.  If you would like a short lesson on the Bulletin Board (usually Saturday morning), contact our webmaster.

Also on the web site: (1) Slide Show Oct 05  - a series of slides about club activities accompanied by music  (2) Survey 1 results.

At John Layton's request, his new phone number is: 682-3188.
