The Sectional was held at our new location and was a huge success in spite of the incliment weather. We had 20.5 more tables than last February's tournament. Bob Phelps and Phyllis Costello should be congratulated on their hard work; they handled the unexpected problems in a timely fashion. Dianne Huguenard, our partnership chairman, put some winning teams together.

The STaC (Sectional Tournament at Club) games are scheduled March 8 - 14. See the calendar for times. Earn more silver points !

The Country-Wide Charity Game will be held on Wednesday, March 17. Our local charity this year will be CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). When a child is reported as neglected or abused, social workers and lawyers working with the Family Court system determine what happens to the child. Due to the large case loads individual attention is often lacking. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to recommend the best possible outcome for the child's future. If you have items to contribute for the raffle, please contact Carolyn Carpenter, Jan Fishback, or Ellen Schmidt. All snacks will also be appreciated.

"Bridge the Gap" will be held at the bridge center Saturday, March 27. The cost will be $15, which includes lessons, bridge, and lunch. If you know people who play bridge, but not at the club, please tell them about this event. We need volunteers! Vangie Smith is in charge of 5th chairs and Betty Paterson is in charge of clean-up. They will appreciate your help.

"EIGHT IS ENOUGH" Swiss teams will be April 6 at 7pm. The game is stratified based on the average masterpoint holding for each team. Points are awarded at each stratification level. Everyone has a chance for success (and Points). Teams are made using the ABC method; each player is assigned a point value based on their masterpoint holding:
A - 1500 & above masterpoints = 3pts
B - 300 -1499 masterpoints = 2pts
C - up to 299 masterpoints = 1 pt.
Add the points for each team member. No team can have more than 8 points. Register your team in advance by signing the registration sheets posted at the club, or call Mauri for assistance.

In Memory:
Chilton Price, perhaps the Louisville Bridge Club's most well-known member, died Jan. 14 at age 96. She was
credited with writing several hit songs, including "Slow Poke" and "You Belong to Me." She was long associated with the
musician Pee Wee King. Chilton was a violinist with the Louisville Orchestra and later worked at WAVE radio. She was
the widow of businessman Robert Price. She hadn't been able to play competitive duplicate for several years, but Chilton was an avid bridge player for many decades. She was a fixture as North at Table One in the old Bridge Center on Oechsli Avenue. She usually
played with longtime partner, the late William Penton. She will be missed.
