Thank You

Our Holiday Party was a big success with lots of delicious food, deserts and Unit game.  Many thanks to Kathleen Quinn and Sheila Hochman and their many helpers who planned, set up, ran and cleaned up after the party.   A big thank you also to Will Watson for arranging our room to accommodate all the players and for running his, usual, superb game.

Thanks also to all the players who brought side dishes and desserts and donated to Community Services Agency and Second Harvest Food Bank.  This year our generous players donated almost $6,000.  Well done!

Congratulations

Congratulations to this year’s Service and Sportsmanship Award winners:

  • Leslie Altick was given our Service Award for her many contributions to our Unit.  Leslie was on our board of directors for 6 years, on the finance and budget committee for 6 years, VP for one year and secretary for 3 years.
  • Harriel Shea was given our Sportsmanship Award, chosen for ethical, friendly and gracious manners at the bridge table, for proving strict competition can be pleasurable and for exemplary conduct serving the best interest of duplicate bridge and its players.

Congratulations, also, to Paul Davis who is one of this year’s winner of the District 21 Goodwill Award.  This award is given annually to only a few players to acknowledge and recognize an individual for their outstanding contributions and personal qualities that lead to promotion of bridge.
