Silent Auction and Awards Party

Unit 178's Silent Auction and Fundraiser, combined with their Awards Party for 2009 Ace of Clubs and Mini-McKenney winners was an enormous success!  Roger Anderson was his usual dapper self as MC for the Awards Party, Sharon and Verda Gould provided everyone with an incredible spread, Larry Oakey handled directing as only he can, and Chip and Teri Blu graciously hosted at the Twin City Bridge Center.  Marv Riedesel, President of Unit 178, gave a wonderful speech about what had been achieved, and helped Roger congratulate all those who performed so well last year. Both Marv and Roger have shared some of their thoughts about the events, which are posted below.  In addition, you can watch a short slide show highlighting our players and our many volunteers.  A great bridge community does not just "happen".  It's the result of many committed and devoted volunteers, workers, players and friends.  Thanks to everyone who is giving their all to great bridge in Minnesota!

Thanks to Marv, Sharon, Roger, Teri & Chip and everone else who spent so much time and effort on making this one of the most successful, rewarding and fun nights in a long time.

There is no question that the Twin City Bridge Players are excited and committed to using the new technology. Bridge is alive and better than ever in Minnesota! See you at the table soon!
