                 Full schedule:  http://regional.kwbridge.com
  ===================================================================

The major bridge event of the year is coming up in less than two weeks.  We need the support of our local players, so we hope ALL of you can come for at least one session (or all 18!).

NEED A PARTNER?
===============
    Our partnership chairman has several people who are looking for partners and team-mates.   Email your partner request to Hugh Williams (hrw...@gmail.com) or call 618-203-9566.
    You can also find partners after the tournament starts.  Just check in at the Partnership Desk at the hotel at least 30-45 minutes before gametime.

CAN YOU SERVE AS A STANDBY?
===========================
    We need players who are willing to serve as last-minute standby partners.  If you can help, please contact Karen (kwal...@comcast.net) or Hugh (hrw...@gmail.com) to let us know which sessions you're available.  Include your phone number.
    There's a special need for a standby player and/or pair on Friday for the Gold Rush Team event.
    If you're called, you'll play free AND earn a one-session free-play for any event later in the week.
