July Unit Championship Game

Make plans now for the  Unit Championship game to be held on Sat., 7/9. The game will begin at 12:30 at the Tyler Senior Center.

In June, we had a record low number of tables with only 4. To keep this game going, we need to increase the number of tables dramatically!

The Board realizes that the cost of gasoline may be an impediment for some to attend the games. Please consider carpooling whenever possible. Club managers will do what they can to make this happen!

For the June game, the top winners were Ethan Collins & Beryl Cobb with a 60.71% game.

Bridge Quote

A married couple are not speaking to each other after a horrible game and are driving home from a distant bridge tournament. They pass by a field where there are many donkeys. The husband breaks the silence by asking his wife, "Relations of yours?" "Yes," she says. "In-laws."
