Awesome August Sectional

Coming up August 14-16, this sectional will be held at the Bridge Club of Houston (BCOH), 4688 Louetta Road in Spring. Please RSVP if attending by sending an email to BCOHEvents@gmail.com along with the days you and your partner (or teammates) plan to play. Why? Your “RSVP’s” will allow BCOH to gauge how many additional tables/chairs will need to be set up ahead of time.
Two more things: BCOH volunteers will be offering a $10 cash lunch daily and there will be a speaker on Friday and Saturday at 2pm. Flyer with full details is posted to the right.

Betty and Milton Freedman Lone Star Regional 2027

Our 2027 Regional, January 25–31, will again be held at the Marriott Houston Westchase. Unit 174 listened to your feedback and are confident you’ll love the playing schedule. The Marriott reservation link is also available if you and your friends would like to book a room. As previously posted, thanks to the Freedman family’s generous $10,000 commitment, our tournament has been named in honor and memory of Betty and Milton Freedman. Both were well-known, accomplished players and devoted countless hours as volunteers in our bridge community. More about Betty and Milton will be shared soon.

And there’s more good news: Marsha Bernstein has graciously agreed to take care of Event Naming and Sponsorships again this year and you can now name an event or a whole day during our LSR in someone’s honor or memory! The LSR event naming opportunities flyer posted to the right has all the details including her contact info.
