CONGRATULATIONS to Unit 124/Cincinnati Bridge Association's newest Board Members Elect:


Potter Orr	Peter Outcalt	John Williams

They begin their term mid December when the transition to the Board for 2019 occurs.

The motion to amend the CBA Constitution to allow the Board of directors to meet 6 times per year minimum (instead of 10) passed with 99.2% of eligible members approving the change. The change will go into effect 2019. Results as confirmed by the CBA Election Chair, Salty Roark.
December 5, 2018 3:00 - 5:00 PM at the Cincinnati Bridge Center - Evendale Paramedics will train up to 14 interested CBA Members in the use of the AED Defibrillator and in CPR. This is free to those who attend. Contact Nalin Mehta to reserve your spot in this class. The only cost is missing this training and having to administer help to a fellow player in need. Be there!
