SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BRIDGE NEWS BLOG
Something brand new...   Our district newspaper now has a blog website!
Check it out and leave a comment if you like.  I am really supportive of this and I hope you like it. It's a great way to get information to our district members in a timely way, rather than once a month.  Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.  The link is above.

STaC GAME
The San Marino Bridge Club will have another STaC on Wednesday evening.

NORTH AMERICAN PAIRS
Both the Arcadia Bridge Center and the San Marino Bridge Club will host qualifying games for the North American Pairs this month.  There's a link below if you want to know more about this event.

UNIT GAME
The unit game will be August 24th instead of the 31st as scheduled.  Art and Diane have graciously agreed to move the Winner/Loser game to the end of the month to avoid the conflict.

GLENDALE SECTIONAL
Our good neighbors in Glendale will be holding their annual sectional at the Scottish Rites Temple in Pasadena soon.  There's a link to the schedule below.
