New Rank Advancements

As per the latest information received from ACBL, we'd like to congratulate the following club members for achieving new ACBL ranks:

* Regional Master (100 MPs) - Bonnie Barton and Bob May 
Life Master (300/500 MPs) - Haim Blanc, Dean Frear, Nick Hughes, Terry Shriver and Scott Worrall
* Bronze Life Master (500/750 MPs) - Terry Shriver and Scott Worrall 
* Silver Life Master (1000 MPs) - Haim Blanc, Bill Even and Nick Hughes
* Ruby Life Master  (1500 MPs) Mary Ann Regan 

Note: some of these categories also require a specific number of gold, red, or silver MPs in addition to total points. Life/Bronze Life Master point requirements are dependent on when the member joined the ACBL.
