  • 2018 Annu Al Repor T
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT BUILDING THE IDF COMMUNITY The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) is the national patient organization dedicated to improving the diagnosis, treatment and quality of life of people with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PI) through advocacy, education and research. Building the IDF community is ever evolving and constant. First and foremost we empower the IDF community with knowledge and resources. Since 1980, we have fulfilled the basic needs of those diagnosed with PI: information and support. When someone faces a diagnosis of PI, IDF is here for them and guides them when they have questions. We provide content and programming beyond the essentials that is relevant and meaningful to the community—no matter their specific diagnosis. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 ANNUAL BUILDING THE IDF COMMUNITY BUILDING We educate those living with PI about advocating for themselves, from treatment to insurance issues. In 2018, our community grew stronger. We reached more people and promoted increased awareness of PI in the U.S and the world. We connected with those newly diagnosed and those who are not connected to IDF—but there are still more out there to reach. IDF serves as the voice of the PI community—we ask the tough questions and make sure our community is represented from public policy decisions to research opportunities. Building the IDF community now and in the years to come is made possible by the generosity of donors. Thank you to all who supported IDF in 2018. 2018 Annual Report | 1 EDUCATION Education is central to our mission, and each year IDF holds informative gatherings throughout the country.

    PROMOTING the GAME of BRIDGE in SOUTH AFRICA THE BRIDGE Edition 13 Publisher: The S A B F December 2020 www.sabf.co.za Special Year-End Edition Ed.: Stephen Rosenberg [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT This year has been a very hard and sad year for our community. Many of us have lost family or friends, not always as a result of COVID-19, and our hearts go out to them and their families. And still this accursed plague hangs over us. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. With the announcement of the development of successful vaccines and their distribution in Europe and America over the coming James Grant months we will surely see a reduction in and eventually the eradication of this pandemic. The next few months are going to be the most trying for us, because we are letting our guard down not only as individuals but as a society. We have grown tired of the sanctions imposed on us and are now taking more risks. We are travelling more, we are visiting friends and families. Fewer people are wearing masks in public places, social distancing is no longer the norm, and we have convinced ourselves that perhaps after all we are immune to this infection. We only have to follow what is now happening in Europe to see the folly in this outlook. Personally, I would like to think that COVID-19 has forced us re-evaluate what is really important in our lives and those around us and that when we finally emerge from this trauma that has paralysed us as individuals and as a nation we will do so as a society kinder and less selfish than before, if only for a little time.

    Thanks to our commentators: Mike Bell Heather Dhondy David Gold Chris Jagger Ben Norton Tom Paske Nicola Smith Yvonne Wiseman Monday/Tuesday 4-5.02.2019 Bridge England Sim Pairs ~ Monday/Tuesday 4-5.02.2019 Thank you for taking part in this Bridge England Simultaneous Pairs. I hope you have enjoyed the event and will take pride in having supported our international teams. 2019 is a year which will see our Junior Teams (U16, U21, U26 Women, U26) play in the European Championship. The EBU provides funding for these teams and this event will help with the funding. Other important areas, such as development and teaching also require support and that means that the international budgets are never as large as we would wish. No international players receive personal payment from the EBU and they have each committed time and energy to representing their country at the bridge table. I very much hope you have enjoyed the hands and the expert commentary, which has been supplied by leading internationals, many of whom will be playing for our country this year. I also hope that you will continue to support this event and encourage your club to continue to participate in the future.

Issue No. 11 Saturday, 23rd June 2012 THE GOLDEN GIRLS England, represented by Sally Brock, Nicola Smith, Heather Dhondy, Nevena Senior, Fiona Brown & Susan Stock- dale (Jeremy Dhondy npc, David Burn coach) captured their second European Women’s Team title following their victory in Tenerife in 2001. It was Nicola Smith’s seventh title, moving her into third place on the all time list (a position she shares with France’s Sylvie Willard). Sally Brock and Heather Dhondy were winning their fourth title, while their teammates enjoyed the taste of victory for the first time. (It will surely not be the last.) France gave up the title they had held since 2006, but Vanessa Reess, Bénédicte Cronier, Catherine D’Ovidio, Daniele Gaviard, Joanna Neve & Sylvie Willard (Romain Tembouret npc) made the new champions fight all the way. Turkey, in the guise of Acar Asli, Vera Adut, Belis Atalay, Berrak Erkan, Ozlem Oymen & Dilek Yavas (Yalcin Atabey npc) built on their success in Poznan by finishing third. These three will be joined by the Netherlands, Poland and Israel as they seek to ensure the Venice Cup stays in Europe. In the Open series, Monaco is well ahead of Italy and the Netherlands, who are tied for second. They are followed by England, Germany and Poland.
