WELCOME UNIT 143 of
GREATER ST. LOUIS |
I appreciate the opportunity to serve as President of Unit 143 Board of Directors. I’d like to thank Mark Boswell for the great job he has done for Unit 143 as President. I have been on the Board since 2018. I’d like to thank all the others before me for the hard work they have done for Unit 143. I look forward to working with my fellow Unit 143 Board of Directors and the Unit 143 members during these COVID-19 times.
Unit 143’s purpose to St. Louis Bridge is to organize and run local Regionals, Sectionals, and I/N Tournaments. As you know, ACBL has cancelled our local tournaments due to COVID-19. We look forward to resuming in-person tournament play in a safe manner, hopefully no later than the August Regional.
Please let me or the Board know if there is anything we can do to serve you.
Thank You - Be Safe,
John Welte
President, Unit 143 |

NOTICE
The ACBL has cancelled all tournaments including I/N tournaments through the end of April 2021.
Decisions on tournaments beyond that point will be made by March 1, 2021.
|
|
| Notice: The membership directory page now has the capability of requesting and receiving (via email) a full directory listing. The Unit will no longer be printing the Membership Directory. |
|
| All Games and classes at J's Bridge Pad are cancelled after Lee's 10 am game on Monday, March 16 until further notice. |
Games and classes at Saint Louis Bridge Center will be suspended after the 10 am game on Friday, March 13.
The Board, like everyone else, has been closely following the Coronavirus situation. Though the number of cases in our immediate area was still relatively low up to this time, it seems prudent to suspend our play indefinitely, barring a change in conditions that warrants a modification of our plan. We will re-evaluate the situation at least weekly and hope to re-open the Center ASAP.
We will work to keep you informed by email, on our website, via Facebook and through announcements on our phone answering machine at (314)569-1430.
We would like to commend all who had been playing the previous few weeks prior to our closing, for how they have respected each other and improved their hygiene. Hopefully, we can carry this forward when we start playing again. |

Congratulations to new Gold Life Master, Phyllis Siegel!

Congratulations to new Emerald Life Master, Denny J O'Connor!
