A special tip of the hat to ...

The Unit 223 players who did well in both masterpoint races, but especially to Kay Jenkins of Mt Vernon, who won both the Ace of Clubs and the Mini-McKenney in her category!
   And an informational note in regard to the Masterpoint Races: The Masterpoint Category in which you will be competing for 2007 is determined by the number of points you possessed on Jan. 1, 2007.

The McCord Trophy

The prestigious McCord Trophy, awarded to the Unit 223 player for most points won at Unit 223 Sectionals, was won this year by Judy Eaton of Carbondale. Judy shared the win in 2005 with her frequent partner, Glafkos Galanos, and repeats her win solo this year. Congratulations and well done!

St. Louis NABC

Congratulations to Mike Carmen, Glenn Smith and all the volunteers who worked to put on the successful National Tournament in St Louis. It was a most enjoyable and well-run tournament.
