New Life Masters

Unit 143 has had a large number of players who have persevered and advanced in rank to become Life Masters. Congratulations to Janet Bernaki, Steven Clements, Grace Fagin, Lisa Eisenstein, Cynthia Peters, Penny Williams, Mary Kernan, Dan Waeltermann, Linda Myers, Steve, Reiss and Mary Ann Shepard.

I encourage all of our new Life Masters and our old Life Masters to occasionally play with non-Life Masters to help them learn and move up the ranks.
