Request For Help

As you may know, the unit owns a trailer that holds our card tables and other tournament supplies. After many years of service (thanks!), the Grossmans are ready to retire from the responsibility of storing the trailer and transporting it to and from tournaments. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to store the trailer between tournaments and to drive it to and from the tournament sites. (This requires owning a suitable vehicle as the unit does not own one.)

If you are willing to help with either storage or transport (or both), please contact the unit board at sbuboard@lists.kence.org. Of course mileage and other expenses would be reimbursed.

New Web Feature

Reminder! Bookmark http://bridgefinesse.com/Chart. Type in your name (or any bridge player) and you will get links to photos of that person from all of Jonathon Steinberg's photo albums. Also the player's masterpoint bridge history, for the last year or so- all in a node map. Plus much more in the future.
