A new era begins
It’s official: Iris Libby is the new boss, owner, big cheese, head honcho and grand panjandrum of the Diablo Valley Bridge Center.
Yesterday, we had a celebratory grand opening in conjunction with the newly traditional Black Eyed Peas and Ham Hocks New Years Day game. Eighteen tables turned out for the bridge and good luck food for the new year. (All these photos, and many more, are available on my Picassa page to copy, download or have prints made)
No game is complete without my favorite sweetheart, Eldonna
Judy was looking sharp
I'm always jealous of Patty's great hair
The wary eyes of the bridge maven, Bill George
BJ was busy studying her notes.
Mike and Linda looked particularly preppy
Winnie is not one to miss a party. Cool earrings, too.
Iris and Ally took up a collection, and members of the club gave Ron and Bonnie a Mexican cruise as thanks for maintaining the club all these years. Iris commended Ron for keeping things going for 3 years longer than he really wanted to, and everyone gave him a major ovation.
Thanks, Ron
Every party has to have a cake.
Nice words from Ron in front of the club

Great set of pictures, Chris. Nice way to start off the New Year! With hand records included with most DVBC games and on-line results, it can’t be beat. BTW, just discovered a new web site, http://www.bridgewinners.com/. Has some top people contributing.
