What's Happening in Unit 225

President's Message

Here are some of the highlights from the Sat., 5/18 Board Meeting:

The Board reviewed Tournament of Stars Regional feedback and suggestions for future tournaments. The final profit/loss outcome is not available due to outstanding bills. The discussion was tabled and will resume once we have final numbers.
The membership directory project is on track with anticipated updated Directories available this summer.
2019-2020 slate of nominees includes:1) returning Board members Linda Harrison, Mary Ramsey, Phyllis Alvarez, Carol Kinsey; 2) new nominees are Jo Ellen Wade and John Hamilton.
Preparations for the Tournament of Roses July 26-28 are underway. We need lots of Unit 225 Members to support and participate, so mark your calendars!

At the May monthly unit game there was a very light turnout with only 7 tables. Let’s get back on track with a great turnout for our next Unit game on June 8. Mark your calendars now. The unit game is your opportunity to win extra black points, to meet bridge friends from other clubs and to support your unit.

If you need a partner, contact Unit Partnership Coordinator, Sally McAnulty at 903-312-8237.

Jo Booth
Silver Life Master

Laura Murphy

Bronze Life Master

(Webmaster's note: In a previous post, it was announced that Margie & Charlie Kemp had made Life Master. Sadly, that was incorrect due to the amount of gold points they needed. Hopefully, they will reach that milestone in the near future.)

Tournament of Roses -- July 26-28

It's time to get with your partner and plan to play at the 2019 Tournament of Roses. Sign-up sheets for Swiss Teams on Sunday will soon be available at your local clubs. We need all our Unit 225 members supporting our sectional tournament!
