LESSONS

It intrigues us from the very first time we discover it , we study to understand it, and it stays in our thoughts from the first time we ever "see it."  We strive for perfection, because we are the lucky ones, the ones who have found our passion.  Linda Green

TUESDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 18, OUR NEXT PRO-AM NIGHT!
 If you are in the 0-199 mp range or a "pro," and would like to play, call the Club to sign up.  We have some signed up already.  This past Tuesday, October 28, we had 20 "pros" and 20 "ams", cold cuts provided by the Club, a funny looking, but delicious, kitty litter cake made by Ann Walter, veggies by Nan Holt, deviled eggs by Sherrie Holliday and a delightful, fun evening.   


THE ACE OF CLUBS PROUDLY PRESENTS

JASON SCHROEDER

16 PEOPLE ENJOYED THE OPENING 0-49 GAME ON TUESDAY NIGHT!  JASON TAUGHT A LESSON ON OPENING ONE OF A MAJOR AND THEN THEY PLAYED 12 BOARDS.  CLAIRE HAMILTON AND NAN HOLT WON AND RECEIVED ACBL MASTERPOINTS.
  COMMENTS:  "I LOVE THIS!"
THEY WERE THROUGH BY 9:00.  A FEW WANTED TO STAY AND PLAY MORE, WHICH THEY DID. 

(One of the Ace of Clubs STARS) and the 0-49 GAME!! 
IT IS HERE!  beginning Tuesday, September 9, at 6:30. 

Jason, who has been assisting Nancy on Monday nights with her very successful lessons, is beginning a 0-49 Supervised Play game on Tuesday nights, and this game will also qualify for ACBL masterpoints to be awarded to the winners.  The price of the lesson and the game is $7.00.  The lesson will be from 6:30 to 7:00 and the game will start at 7:00, right after the lesson.  The game will consist of boards he creates from the lesson that he teaches.  A minimum number of boards, based on the lesson topic, will be played so the game should be over no later than 9:00.  He is also planning a question and answer session afterwards for those interested in staying a little longer.  TUESDAYS ARE FINALLY HERE!   

  Sandy Landy, continues with her beginner and intermediate lessons on Saturday mornings.  So you have lots of choices to make at the Ace of Clubs on Saturday mornings, and  at other times throughout the week.  Let your time and interest determine what you will do!

ATTENTION:  The Tuesday game at 10:30 was a great success.  Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the earlier time, as I hoped they would.
