PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Happy New Year!   The past is history and 2020 is here.

I would like to express my gratitude for all of the work that the Board members (and some non-board members) did in 2019. You really missed out if you were unable to attend the 2019 Annual Brunch which was a big success. Congratulations to all of the winners of the various annual awards presented including: Michelle Lanigan -Alex Gruder Dedicated Service Award; Debi Fabian -Mark Skinner Bridge Promotion Award; and Phyllis Fuchs -Charles Karp Good Sportsmanship Award. Also congratulations to Lee Ohliger, winner of the Bill Joseph Player of the Year award.

I welcome all the new members to the Board and thank the outgoing members for their service.It is only through working together that we can carry on running the Unit and ensuring that the events areenjoyable and a success. Special thanks to Susan Koster who served as President for the past two years.  She went above and beyond and worked with all the Board Members to ensure that things went smoothly.

I encourage everyone to participate in the Allendale sectional on January 10, 11 & 12. Come and play and enjoy the game.
