TOMORROW: Friday, June 4  (7:00) -- Worldwide Bridge Contest
=========
  We hope you can join us for this annual event, which is being played at thousands of clubs around the world.  Each session features instant-matchpoint scoring (you get your score as soon as you play each hand), international awards and hand-analysis booklets.
  ENTRY FEES:  The Central Illinois Unit Board is subsidizing the extra sanction fee, so you can play for the regular club-entry fee of $5 instead of the $9-10 other clubs are charging.
  RESERVATIONS:  If you plan to play -- or if you need a partner -- please contact John Brandeberry by phone (417-3211) or email (bran...@yahoo.com).
