Our last tournament of the year begins Friday Oct. 19th and ends on Sunday the 21st at Blanchette Park in St. Charles.  We have fun games, silver points to award, great food, and many nice and welcoming bridge players.  I hope to see you there!  If you need a partner, don't forget to call our Partnership Chair, Linda Seibert at 314-810-6487.

This is always a bittersweet time of year. Wonderful Board members will be stepping down, all of whom have served with insight, leadership, and hard work.  I will personally miss Mary Dolan, Dianne Glick, Jeff Kopolow, Linda Seibert, and Mark Ziegelman. 

On the other hand, we have the pleasure of adding Terry D'Amato, Estella Lau, and John Welte to the Board.  We welcome you to a great group of Board members.  The Board is committed to providing YOU fun and challenging tournaments.  Let us know how to improve!

Hope to see you at the Sectional.
