you can call Bob Reilly at 916-988-1040 and let him know.

the A flight with a net score of 68. Jerry Thomas won the

B flight with a net score of 69. Vic Brewer won the C flight

with a net score of 67. Bud White won the D flight with

closest to the pin that was 6 ft. 10 inches from the hole.

He made the putt.

With just one month to go, the race for Player of the year

is really close.

Here are the leaders:

*Does not add to total

Sirs branch 112 has been sponsoring party bridge for

all Sirs members and there significant others for

years. We have four or five members from our branch

that attend, along with their wives on a regular basis. We

meet on the third Wednesday of each month at Coco's,

Sunrise and Madison, starting at 9 AM. We break for

lunch and then continue playing until about 2 PM.

This is not serious bridge; it's more about having fun.

You don't have to be an expert to join us (were all still

learning). Come alone or bring a friend, or bring your

wife, or stay home and send your wife! Don't laugh, sev-

eral wives do attend alone. If you are interested please
