Thank you to all 299er's who attended Unit 143's tournament in March. Due to a problem with the sanction at ACBL headquarters, the masterpoint awards for placing in the overalls were incorrect at the site. However, that error has been corrected so that winners will receive Sectional rated awards. Hope to see you all at the May Sectional!
ATTENTION BRIDGE WINNERS
At 1:30pm on Friday, May 17, 2019, before the start of the pair events at the Sectional in St. Charles certificates, medallions, and Life Master pins will be presented to the Unit 143 2018 Ace of Club winners, Minni McKenny winners, and new Life Masters. Congratulations to all!
