The new headquarters for ACBL are awesome! Jay Baum and his staff team did a terrific job developing a facility that incorporates offices, the warehouse, and a bridge history center that is wonderful.
If you are in the area, do take the time to visit!
This link at ACBL.org has television video from the grand opening.
It isn't often that you see "win-win" situations in bridge. Our new headquarters building in Horn Lake is one of those times.
A local paper had this nice article about our great facility!
I will see the new building soon, and look forward to giving you a personal report about it.
No, 1430 is not the year that bridge was invented! It is a modern method for ace-asking.
Larry Cohen, one of the most successful players in our country, and a top writer and teacher, presents an excellent column on ace-asking. If you wish to know how to beef up your competence with slams, read Larry's new column on 1430.
For those who like to see what is happening financially in District 14, two reports below. The first summarizes 2005 through 2009; the second is for 2009.
At the May Gopher Regional in the Twin Cities, District 14's board met. Attached, you can find both updated policies for District 14, plus minutes from the board meeting.
Thanks to all who attended, and to all our members for their contributions to bridge in District 14!
We just read about how some of District 14's younger players are doing so well and enjoying bridge so much. Thus, we'd like to alert all of our youth players about a great opportunity this summer in New Orleans!
Youth players can register by July 1 for the Youth NABC in New Orleans July 29-31. They can register online at the Youth4Bridge web site at www.Youth4Bridge.org. They must register by July 1 in order to receive a gift bag and souvenir t-shirt.
And, if those young bridge players (19 years of age and under) can correctly guess the name of the Mystery Bridge Hand contained in the logo, he or she may be eligible to enter a random drawing to win a Samsung Netbook with Intel Atom™ Processor. The drawing will be held on July 31, 2010 at the Youth NABC in New Orleans, LA.** Visit www.Youth4Bridge.org for more information and official rules.
The ACBL cherishes every single member in the league. Young or old, beginner or world class star; everyone matters.
Still, great news when District 14 has a young player as excited about our game as Ben Christensen is! Check out the details at MNBridge blog.
