Be a Solstice Champion at our Longest Day Unit Games with elevated points!!
Unit 498 will be hosting unit sponsored games on BBO on Saturday, June 19, at 1:00 pm and on Sunday, June 20, at 1:00 pm.
These games will offer both 499er and Open Sections. The fees for the games will be $15 with most of these fees going to the Alzheimer’s Association.
On BBO Virtual Club Games, look for VACB263616 on Saturday and VACB273474 on Sunday.
For the past several years Unit 498 and The Peninsula Team have supported the Longest Day fund raising campaign with the ACBL by playing the game we love, Bridge. Last year our community raised over $12,000 with your generous donations.
On behalf of our 2021 committee, Fred Chasalow, Team Captain, Barbara Lewis, Sue Papilion, Danna Sorenson, and Janelle Van Rensselaer, we would like to invite you to join us to make a difference once again.
The link to our 2021 team donation page is:
Or if you would like to mail a donation, please print and send the following form with your donation.
We will be having Unit games over the weekend of 6/19/21 - 6/20/21 and offering some experiences for playing and learning this wonderful game.
Look for more information to come!!
2021 Mentor Program Unit 498
Our mentor-mentee games have been very popular, both before and after the transition to bridge via BBO. We will continue these monthly games in 2021. They will start at 6:30 PM on the last Thursday of each month (except for November which will be the 3rd Thursday of the month). Please contact Pete Goldsmith: petedgoldsmith@gmail.com if you wish to participate as a mentor or mentee.
