Another new beginner bridge game will be starting on Monday Nights, limited to those with under 20 Masterpoints. Food at 6:15pm, lesson 6:30pm, and game at 7pm. Only two hours of playing means this group ends by 9pm. Cost = $8. Have more than 20 MP's? You can play in the Monday night Open game at 7pm, which plays 24 boards, has hand records, and ends by 10:30pm. This group gets the credit for all of the beginners who are playing. for more information, call Wendy @408-807-4596 or Judy C@796-8281. http://www.sjbridge.org/direktor/0902.pdf That’s more like it! Just before the President’s Day regional, we had 15 teams for our monthly unit game. My team was number 1. No, we didn’t win (far from it), we just bought the first entry. The winning team was Will Watson, Leila Sink, Rich Jasper and Frank Smoot. There was a threeway tie for first in the B stratification. In no particular order, Michael Bodell, Allan Malloy, David and Wendy Fotland; Doug Hong, Peggy Sprague, Joel Koransky and Ken Rosenfeld; and Rita Tingley, Sabina Siem, Mike Slattery and Robert Frohman. Eileen Kotecki again provided great snacks. If you just come for the food, you should be satisfied. Mich Ravera as director went the extra mile and gave us predealt hands, making it a fairer contest, as well as a colorful new assignment chart. The hands were another ongoing benefit of so many members having contributed to the garage sale that resulted in the purchase of the dealing machine. Next month, on the evening of March 9, our stratified pairs unit game will honor our mini-McKenney and Ace of Clubs winners for 2008, with the leaders in each category getting a free play. Come out to pay your respects and to challenge them. On March 27, Carole Dietz will be holding a pro-am game. Please sign up at the club ahead of time and identify yourself as a “pro” (anyone who is a Life Master) or an “am” (anyone else). It’s a lot of fun for both sides, sharing your experience if you have experience to share. There’s a big interest in learning bridge. Wendy Dewell and Judy Clark have brought in 8 tables worth of players interested in their Easybridge! game on Monday night, and Faye Parsons has been teaching supervised play classes of 11 tables at a nearby school. Judy and Wendy have also been cleaning up the club, organizing the game records and notices on the walls, and tidying up otherwise. They aren’t your mothers, however, or your maids, so please do your share when you come to the club and clean up after yourself. Most of us have some spare time between rounds and waiting for scores at the end of a game. Spend a minute bringing your coffee cup to the sink, throwing out the napkin and plate you used, and picking up that pencil that fell on the floor. At the last District 21 board meeting, Dan Turkus received a goodwill award and pin for all the time he devoted to setting up for sectionals, volunteering at the partnership and hospitality desks of regionals, playing with people needing partners, and all with a smile and a quip. Are you going to get the next one? Pro-Am Game 3/27 by Carole Dietz Friday night, March 27th will be a Pro-Am game. A Pro is anyone attaining Life Master status and an Am is anyone, not a Life Master. LM's please try to remember what it was like when you were trying to advance your standing. One night, three hours of your time, could make a huge difference in someone's first step toward "Life Masterhood." A sign up sheet will be on the wall in the Upcoming Events are.. Please sign up to be a part of this evening.

Based on that fact alone, one would expect a large percentage of our membership to be retired. This is one of the worst economies in a long time. How have our retired membership been able to cope with the tough economic times? If you are invested in stocks or similar investments, that portion of your wealth is down a lot. If you are invested in fixed income the government has lowered interest rates so low that it’s nearly impossible to get a decent return on your fixed income without taking risks. And housing prices have dropped considerably. I always felt that in the worst case scenario I could take out a reverse mortgage. Anyone who has found a solution to these problems please send it to me via e-mail ([email protected]). I'd like to pass it on to our membership. Santa Clara Valley Spring Sectional April 3, 4, and 5! Save the Date! Our Unit 507’s spring sectional is coming rd th up April 3 through April 5 .

For an invitation, contact Faye Parsons at 408-378-4719. Idioter’s Corner I’ve heard it said that, if it doesn’t admit of repeating, it probably shouldn’t have been said in the first place. This month, I am intentionally rerunning edited promotions for our sectional and for the Pro-Am game. http://www.sjbridge.org/direktor/0902.pdf February 15, 2008 First Edition The Di-Rek’Tor Sunday Monday Tuesday 15 Alan's Stratified Game with Hand Records: 12PM Faye's Lesson: 5PM Faye's Invitational Game: 5:20PM 16 Carole's Open Stratified Game with Hand Records: 11AM Judy & Wendy's Game: 7PM 17 Judy and Carole's Open Game with Hand Records: 10:30AM Supervised Play: 3PM Lynn's Stratified Open Pairs Game with Hand Records: 7:30PM Page 5 of 6 Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday February Bridge Planning Calendar 22 Alan's Game: 12PM 23 Carole's Game: 11AM 24 Swiss Teams: Winners and 0-20 Game 10:30AM Whiners Begins: 6:30PM Supervised Play: 3PM & Wendy's Game: Lynn's Game: 7:30PM Potluck: 4:30PM Judy 7PM 18 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM Lynn's Stratified 299er & Stratified Open Game w/separate sections and hand records: 11AM Will's Super chart Game with Hand Records: 7PM Lynn's Open Stratified Game with Hand Records @ Oakwood: 7:15PM 19 Lynn's Stratified Open Pairs Game with Hand Records: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Stratified Open Pairs Game: 7PM 20 Al's Open Handicapped Game: 11AM Carole's Lesson: 6:30PM Carole's 2-Section Game Non Life Master & Open Game w/ Hand Records: 7PM 21 Al's 0-900 Handicapped Game: 12:30PM Mich's Midchart Handicapped IMP Game with Hand Records: 7:07PM 25 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM 2-Section Game: 11AM Will's Game: 7PM Oakwood Game: 7:15PM 26 Lynn's Game: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Game: 7PM 27 Al's Game: 11AM Carole's Lesson: 6:30PM Carole's Game: 7PM 5 Lynn's Game: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Game: 7PM 6 Al's Game: 11AM Carole's Lesson: 6:30PM Carole's Game: 7PM 7 Al's Game: 12:30PM Mich's Game: 7:07PM 28 Al's Game: 12:30PM RR Teams: 7:07PM March 1 Alan's Game: 12PM Faye Lesson: 5PM Faye's Game: 5:20PM 2 Birthday Game: 11AM Judy & Wendy's Game: 7PM 3 Carole & Judy's Game: 10:30AM Supervised Play: 3PM Lynn's Game: 7:30PM Board Meeting: 5:30PM 4 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM 10 Carole & Judy's Game: 10:30AM Supervised Play: 3PM Lynn's Game: 7:30PM 11 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM 2-Section Game: 11AM Will's Game: 7PM Oakwood Game: 7:15PM 12 Lynn's Game: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Game: 7PM 13 Al's Game: 11AM Carole's Lesson: 6:30PM Carole's Game: 7PM 14 Al's Game: 12:30PM Mich's Game: 7:07PM Will's Game: 7PM Oakwood Game: 7:15PM 8 Alan's Game: 12PM Faye Lesson: 5PM Faye's Game: 5:20PM 9 Carole's Game: 11AM 15 Alan's Game: 12PM Faye Lesson: 5PM Faye's Game: 5:20PM 16 Carole's Game: 11AM Judy & Wendy's Game: 7PM 17 Carole & Judy's Game: 10:30AM Supervised Play: 3PM Lynn's Game: 7:30PM 18 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM 2-Section Game: 11AM Will's Game: 7PM Oakwood Game: 7:15PM 19 Lynn's Game: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Game: 7PM 20 Al's Game: 11AM Carole's Lesson: 6:30PM Carole's Game: 7PM 21 Al's Game: 12:30PM Mich's Game: 7:07PM 22 Alan's Game: 12PM Faye Lesson: 5PM Faye's Game: 5:20PM 23 Carole's Game: 11AM Judy & Wendy's Game: 7PM 24 Carole & Judy's Game: 10:30AM Supervised Play: 3PM Lynn's Game: 7:30PM 25 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM 2-Section Game: 11AM Will's Game: 7PM Oakwood Game: 7:15PM 26 Lynn's Game: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Game: 7PM 27 Al's Game: 11AM Carole's Lesson: 6:30PM 28 Al's Game: 12:30PM 29 Alan's Game: 12PM Faye Lesson: 5PM Faye's Game: 5:20PM 30 Carole's Game: 11AM Judy & Wendy's Game: 7PM 31 Carole & Judy's Game: 10:30AM Supervised Play: 3PM Lynn's Game: 7:30PM 1 Lynn's Lesson: 10:30AM 2 Lynn's Game: 10:30AM Shuffle&Deal: 3PM Faye's Game: 7PM 3 Al's Game: 11AM 4 Al's Game: 12:30PM Unit AoC / MiniMcK Game: 7PM April http://www.sjbridge.org/direktor/0902.pdf Birthday Game: 11AM Board Meeting: 5:30PM Will's Game: 7PM Oakwood Birthday Game: 7:15PM Anniversary Club Pro-Am Game: 7PM Championship: 7:07PM SCV Sectional SCV Sectional Pairs: 2PM Pairs: 1PM SCV Sectional Pairs: SCV Sectional Pairs: 7:30PM 7PM February 15, 2008 First Edition The Di-Rek’Tor Page 6 of 6 The Di-Rek’Tor The Di-Rek’Tor is published monthly by Unit 507 of the American Contract Bridge League, Campbell Community Center, One West Campbell Avenue, Building J-68, Campbell, CA 95008.
