Thank you for making our local Regional tournament such a success!  Compared to last year, our tournament can boast higher attendance and a strong financial outcome.  This is particularly great news when tournaments across the country are experiencing lower attendance and weakening financial outcomes. 

 

My sincere thanks go to each board member who spent this year evaluating every aspect of the Regional.  Particular kudos to Mike Carmen, Tournament Chair, and Board Member Debbie Romero who assisted him.

 

Call or email me to share your suggestions and thoughts.  Also if you played at the Regional, you should receive an email inviting you to share your experience through a survey. We want to know what you think.

 

Now it's time to focus on the October Sectional, October 19-21 at Blanchette Park.  Play in your local bridge clubs to work on your partnerships.  Hope to see you soon!
