UNIT 206 CHIT CHAT Volume 7 Issue 7 Publication of ACBL Unit 206 July 2016 Email: [email protected] KITCHEN CHATS WITH DAN Hi everybody. Before beginning, please join me in wishing Dan Jernigan a speedy recovery from his heart issues. Get well soon, Dan, we are all thinking of you and pulling for you. Elsewhere in this issue, is a report from Sandy Cervantes on your results from the Longest Day which we jointly sponsored with the Alzheimer’s Association and the ACBL. The job that Sandy and Nancy Maples and their com- mittee did is truly awe inspiring. Thanks to them and to all of you who played, cooked, offered auction items, bid on auction items, made donations and everything else which made this year’s effort so amazing for a great cause. Beginning on July 11, 2016, your Chattanooga Regional begins. Bert Shramko and Keith Honnold have spent countless hours working with representatives from District 7 and with their volunteers to make this another Unit 206 successful tournament. Many thanks to them and all of you who are helping. However, there is much left to do. There are still help desk time slots and other volunteer positions which need to be filled. If you go by the club, see what is still available and if possible make an effort to donate your time. Janie Hunt would love to hear from you, if you would like to volunteer. No tournament is successful without players and I cannot encourage you enough to play. If you have never played in a tournament, you are in for a treat. Bert and Keith have scheduled sessions and events for all levels of players. Come out and see how you are progressing against players at your skill level. Your will be pleasantly surprised. Can’t wait to see you all at the Chattanoogan. Teresa Moore is continuing Bill Adams’ series of specialized lessons in July. She will be teaching on Jacoby Two No Trump and Splinters. If you are not currently employing these tools and want to or if you just want to understand what they are so you can compete against them, please come and see what they are all about. We have another Learn Bridge In A Day? scheduled for Saturday, August 6th beginning at 9:45 AM. The last LBIAD? was a wonderful success and based on the interest already expressed, this one seems posed for another great turn- out. I hope you will mention it to your friends who are curious about why you play bridge or to friends who once played but are unsure as to how they can get involved again. We will again need table monitors to assist the partici- pants, and I hope you will be able to help. I got unanimously positive reviews from those who helped last time. It really is a fun day for all involved, and we have players today who started with LBIAD? Finally, please join me in welcoming new players to bridge. I remember how nervous I was when I first started play- ing. It is so much fun to see the size of the games on Monday night and Friday afternoon. The Tuesday night game is still struggling but those who come really seem to enjoy it. And, we are beginning to see new players at Nooga East and at the Tuesday and Wednesday Chattanooga games. Let me stress how often I still have new players express how grateful they are for the yellow cards. I have noticed that some are occasionally removing them from the boxes. Please realize how much new players appreciate them and how much they have encouraged new players to give our big games a try. Come play in the tournament and thanks again for all your support. Dan DAN JERNIGAN I spoke to Dan Jernigan's daughter today, July 4th, and got her permission to publish Dan's status on our email list. On June 2nd, Dan had a rather severe stroke while sitting alone on a park bench in Cal- gary. A passer-by noticed and got him to the hospital immediately. It fortunately had a stroke center there similar to Erlanger and he had two procedures to eliminate the clot successfully. After a time, he was able to fly home with his daughter, Amy and was checked out by the neurologist there who knew the Calgary neurologist. He was said to be in good condition for what he had been through. He is now at home and doing well with home health care. His message to me was that he could not play tomorrow but would be ready by August. Gerry Jones IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE THE LONGEST DAY Our silent auction to raise money for The Longest Day was a tremendous success. Attached is a listing of donors matched up with the buyers. If your item is time sensitive and you haven’t yet communicated with each other, please do so to avoid mix-ups and problems. We salute those who donated a little piece of themselves by offering the very unique items we had in our silent auction. Crea- tivity, generosity and commitment only come close to their unselfish contribution. Their names are listed on the following page. To those who contributed items for our “regular” auction, we thank you. And our gratitude is certainly heartfelt to those who made monetary donations. It’s unbelievable, but our little Unit 206 raised over $6,000 to fight Alzheimer’s. This was a true communal effort. Unquestionably, Alzheimer’s is an affliction that falls into the category of “there but for the grace of God. .” Playing bridge, socializing, and sharing time together helps all of us as we age. But none of us is immune, and our strongest defense to this debilitating disease is this offense of raising awareness and funds to find a cure. This certainly is something we can all get behind. It is obvious to everyone the amount of work required to pull off an activity like The Longest Day. The following individuals went above and beyond to ensure that our event was successful. We mention these persons, but there were so many others who pitched in when needed even though they were never asked. Thanks to the “silent elves” whose unselfish help made it all so much easier!
