Request from Cambria Nursing Center

We currently have three residents here at Cambria Nursing Center that enjoy playing bridge.  Would like to see if anyone from your organization would be able to volunteer their time for one hour a week to play bridge with our residents. Also if you are interested in holding any of your bridge meetings here in our community, you would be very much welcome.   If you can please contact me at (915) 479-1408 or email at rosiet30@yahoo.com .  The address is 1991 Saul Kleinfeld Drive, 79936.

Do you remember Trish Thomas from Las Cruces who at one time during the 80′s was the youngest Life Master?  She now sings opera in Bremen, Germany and is called Patricia Andress.  Here’s a sample.  When you click the link there will be several other arias you can hear Tricia singing.

If you are interested in learning a new convention, go to the Bridge Lessons page and see the brief description of the Christian convention.  It is to be used when an opening 1NT bid or an overcall of 1NT is doubled for penalties.

Topic for discussion at Annual Membership Meeting

At the last Board meeting your Board of Directors discussed the possibility of starting the Wednesday game at 12:30 rather than at 11.  We would eliminate the lunch break. 

 

There are many sides to the issue.  Some like to enjoy the lunchtime camaraderie and even arrange the late afternoon for doctor’s appointments; others consider the lunch break unnecessary and prefer a free morning to play golf or attend to medical and other personal matters. 

 

The Board took no position on this suggestion at the September meeting.

 

The matter is up for discussion at the October 30 meeting.  Voice your concerns to Board members if you don’t plan to attend.  We will have a brief discussion of the matter and then vote to retain the current starting time or establish a new one.
