If you add it, they will come! Many faces, old and new, were on hand for the annual Members Thank You in July. We were joined by Jon Vietor from La Jolla, Michael McCaddon from Arizona, and Jim Harris all the way from Texas. It was lovely to meet all the new folks, and nice to catch up with all of you rare gems.



Speaking of gems, there is a new pearl on the BGBB necklace. We're starting a tournament in Scotts Valley, or the fourth Saturday of every month (at least for September, October, and November). If enough players show up for these next three months, we will be invited to keep in going on a regular basis. If you live in the South Bay, or just like a day out away from the big city, come to Scotts Valley and enjoy our new location at Gigi's Bakery & Cafe.
