John McAdam District 1 Wide Charity
Game
At
Clubs in District 1
For the last few years,
District 1 has held a District-Wide Charity game which raises money for the
Canadian Bridge Federation ( CBF) Charity Fund. This game was very capably
chaired by John McAdam. In December 2006 John unfortunately passed away,
and the District 1 Board decided to honour his memory by naming the event after
him.
John McAdam, of Ottawa was a bridge
player and administrator who served in many capacities on the District 1 and the
Unit 192 Boards. He was a fine bridge player and was a gentleman both at
and away from the bridge table.
This Charity game is typically held in
early November at all clubs in District 1 who are willing to participate in the
event. The dates changes annually to a different day of the week, so that
more clubs can
have the game on a regular scheduled bridge night.
Gilles St. Hilaire. is now the
District Charity Chair, whose responsibility is to work with ACBL to organize
this game.
The charity this year will support
Senior's activities. Units should send information on what activities they
want supported to Gilles St. Hilaire.
Let’s try to raise a lot more money for
the Fund! And the masterpoint awards aren’t bad either.
Please ask your club if it is holding the
game in support of this worthwhile cause, and plan to play in November
Next game:
Wednesday,
November 2nd, 2011 (evening)
