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, in the near future.
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 |

CONDUCT and ETHICS Issues
Most of us want to play the game of duplicate bridge honestly. When you play against
an opponent you suspect is not playing in accordance with the Laws, or violating
the Code of Disciplinary Regulations, please file a Player Memo. This can be found by clicking the "Conduct and Ethics" link under Unit 143 Governance.
You may
also privately text the game director, but making a public accusation is in itself a violation
of the CDR, so please be careful to report suspicious conduct properly.

Congratulations to new Gold Life Masters,
Randy Baker and Dr. Hong Liu!
