| Thank you for your participation in the Longest Day |
The Longest Day is a partnership between the ACBL and the Alzheimer's Association with the goal of raising funds to fight Alzheimer’s disease. 
Bridge Club of Houston would like to thank all of the contributors to our "Play Up a Little, Play Up a Lot" campaign.
We raised more than $3,000! (We won't have a final number for a few weeks because some donations were made by check)
We also would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the teachers, professionals and club players who donated their time and talents to this effort. And thank you to the players who made the purchases, everyone was bought!

| News about a New BBO Game |
The Bridge Club of Houston has joined the SE Carolina Club Consortium for on-line games!
WE WILL CONTINUE ALL OF OUR OWN CURRENT CHOOSE HOUSTON GAMES:
- THURSDAY AT 7PM Central time
- MENTOR/MENTEE GAMES ON THE 1ST AND 3RD MONDAYS AT 7PM Central time.
Why did we join?
If you play in SE Carolina Club virtual games, BCoH will receive $1 for each time you play.
What is the SE Carolina Consortium?
- In August, ACBL relaxed restrictions so that virtual clubs may allow any player entry into their virtual games so SE Carolina Club built a consortium of clubs
- BCOH will benefit from revenue sharing provisions from our players as they increase the number of their games and their table counts
- They are competing effectively with the BAND, Southeast Knoxville/Big Orange and other large virtual clubs on pricing and game sizes · Their website is https://sites.google.com/view/se-club-of-clubs/home
