John Waken Sectional Get your partner!  Here's your chance to play in our local sectional and win some of those needed silver points!  Our annual sectional sponsored by our unit and Dr. John Waken starts on Friday and runs thru the weekend.  There's more information below. District News After many years of doing an outstanding job overseeing the ALACBU Scholarship Foundation, Peter Szecsi has turned it over Barbara Nussbaum.  Both Barbara and Peter have given our district years of volunteer work and they deserve our appreciation.  Please tell Peter "Thank you" when you seen him next.  It's the only pay he will ever get. ALACBU Elections At the most recent ALACBU meeeting our own Mike Marcucci was re-elected President and Joe Viola was re-elected our Treasurer.  Bob Shore is our Vice President. Another Dummy Reversal Count your tricks if you choose to start by drawing the trumps... five spades, two hearts one diamond and two clubs.  Hmmm... that's only ten tricks!  Okay, that won't work, so you have to ruff something. You could ruff two hearts in the dummy, right?  But that won't work, either, because then you would have a trump loser and a club loser. You can certainly ruff diamonds, but that's a Dummy Reversal - Does that bring in the slam? Yep, If you take the top diamond and ruff three diamonds then later your J is good. This play will get you three ruffs in your hand, three trumps in the dummy, two hearts, two diamond and two clubs... The total is 12 tricks, just what you need.
