A note from the president
As we give a warm welcome to all of our new members, we are kicking off the New Year welcoming new
board members Mo Snowdon, V.P. and Linda Bradley, Treasurer. Our new chairpersons are Jeane Kays & Jane
Fellows, Dining-Out Chair & Co-Chair and Charlotte Conradi, Social Registrar to our existing talented board. All
of us are looking forward to working with you throughout 2015 to make this yet another memorable year in
the Sandhills. With that said, we cannot thank our retiring board members Jeane Kays, President, Karyn
Molnar, Treasurer and chairpersons Linda Bradley, Dining-Out, Liz Polston & Susan Gordan, Mah Jong Mania
co-chairs, Special Events Co-chairs Sheri Devendorf & Donna VanHoover enough for their creativity & efforts
to make life in Pinehurst fun, stimulating and productive.
A special thank you from all of us goes to Sheila Henderson, for her 7 years of devoted service to Neighbors.
Wearing many hats under the title of Membership Chairperson she has decided to step down to “make room
for new blood and ideas”. All of the functions Sheila has performed over the years will require a number of
new opportunities and a distribution of responsibilities. We cannot thank her enough and look forward to
joining her at many of the activities you’ll find in this newsletter.
You will also find the Board and Committee Chairperson List at the end of this newsletter. These are the
people who have volunteered to ensure that we all have opportunities for an active, social and productive
year. As the general membership let us thank and support them throughout this year.
Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Active 2015!
Karen Fogle, President

Bridge News
Ladies Marathon Bridge
Okay, Ladies. Signups are now being taken for Grandslammer XLV which will start as soon as eight
teams are available. I need three more teams to start this one. Please, sign up NOW and, send in your
money. I’m sure some of you want to get games in during the winter weather.
The majority of the participants will decide whether to play Chicago or rubber bridge. As soon as eight
teams are signed up, we can begin play. This is a continuous process. So, if you would like to play, sign
up now by calling Phyllis Clark at 215-8730 or email her at [email protected]. Send your check/s for
$10/lady made payable to Neighbors of Pinehurst and mail it to Phyllis Clark, 64 Stoneykirk Drive,
Pinehurst, NC 28374
Need a Partner? Give Phyllis a call at 215-8730. She tries to hook up players who are looking for a
game. Have you considered playing in another marathon with a different partner? Maybe a new member?
Another friend? Or someone who’s looking for a partner?
Hostesses, please remember to schedule your games as early as possible giving your opponents
several options. Everyone has busy schedules, so the earlier you do this the better it works out for
all concerned. Thank you.
Couples Marathon - Sign-ups will continue to be taken for the next Couples Marathon. Sign up
and join in the fun! We really need couples to sign up and keep this going. It’s a very nice way to
spend an evening. Here’s wishing you great cards!
Games are scheduled so that you play with a different couple once a month for seven (7) months.
If you enjoy bridge, this is a great way to meet new couples as well as spend and evening with
friends. To sign up, we need a check for $15/couple, made payable to Neighbors of Pinehurst, to
Lynne Moore, 32 Lasswade Drive, Pinehurst, NC, 28374. Checks may be mailed or dropped in the
basket on Lynne’s porch. If there are any questions, call Lynne at 235-3929 or email her at
[email protected].
How Marathon Bridge Works – Each Marathon consists of seven months of scheduled play with
one additional month allowed for the completion of all rounds. There are no games scheduled in
December. Couples or lady partners may schedule play at their convenience during the eight-month
period. Sign-ups are on a first-come-first-served basis. When a group fills up, new sign ups are
placed on a waiting list until there are eight teams to form a new group. This procedure continues
throughout the year. So, if you are finishing one marathon and wish to continue or sign up for an
additional one, send in your check/s. For more information, contact either Lynne or Phyllis.
Neighbors Bridge Groups – Neighbors supports various bridge groups by providing cards, score
sheets, etc. The requirements for being a “Neighbors” group are simple: 1) All the members must
belong to Neighbors of Pinehurst. 2) You must use the ladies on the substitute list above as
substitutes, whenever possible. To my knowledge there are 3 duplicate groups that currently qualify
for support. They are the 1st Monday Group headed by Judith Kelley; the 1st Friday Group headed
by Phyllis Clark; and the 3rd Monday Group headed by Phyllis Clark. I am not aware of any party
bridge groups, but I know there are some out there. This offer is open not only to ladies, but men
and couples as well.
I know there are other bridge groups, duplicate or party, playing in the community. Let me know if
you think your group qualifies for our support. E-mail me, Phyllis Clark at [email protected] with
a list of your members, the name of the person responsible for the group, and the type of game
your group plays.
