Dear Members of the Indianapolis Bridge Center (IBC):
It is hard to believe that March is almost half over. It has been a busy time at IBC. While we were closed for Regionals our staff and volunteers were diligently cleaning our center.
-
All tables and chairs were wiped down.
-
The parts for the damaged chairs, seats, seatbacks, and arms were delayed. They will be replaced as soon as the parts come in.
-
Every bidding box, and every bidding card were cleaned as was every Bridgemate.
Thank you to all who contributed their time and effort.
We are in a special week (March11 – 16) where 1/3 of your points are upgraded to RED. Next week (March 17- 23) 1/3 of your points will be upgraded to GOLD! The final week of March (24-31) 1/3 of your points will be converted to SILVER!

Coming up this weekend: Saturday, March 15, we will have our Taco Tip-Off Party with a March Madness theme. Included will be a Club fundraiser with chances to win free game tickets. Your team will be selected from a Blind Draw pool. Many of you have already bought a ticket for the drawing.
The Board wants all IBC members to know that Wednesday March 26, the Board will have a working retreat to refine IBC’s goals, discuss our strategies, and assess how effective the board has been in following our mission.
In closing, let me say it is an honor to serve as Board President of IBC.
