Fall is finally here and with it comes cooler air, much needed rain, and our last regional in District 6 (D6) for the year–the Chesapeake Regional in Cambridge, MD, beginning November 11th. We look forward to installing this year’s new D6 Goodwill Committee members at the Chesapeake Regional.
The year has flown by and so much has happened! Perhaps most importantly, I call your attention to the announcement of the new location for our Baltimore, MD Regional next August, at the Baltimore Hilton Inner Harbor. See the announcement below my report.
A big thank you to Shawn Stringer and David Rodney who diligently worked to find this fabulous location when the contract with Hunt Valley could not be continued. Also, another “BIG Thank You” to our D6 friend and corporate sponsor, Krauss Investment Group, for working with us to make parking free for all attendees at the Hilton.
The time has come to say goodbye to our long-time bridge friend Will Williams who has moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. Will served in many roles both in the Richmond Unit and at the District level. Also, for many years, Will served as our representative on the ACBL Board of Governors. Will and his late partner Jack Buchanan were recently elected to the Richmond Unit Hall of Fame. Will promises to visit us regularly in D6. Aloha Will!
Your D6 Board of Directors continues to work on opportunities for improvement within D6 and within the ACBL. Before the end of the year, you will receive the Calendar of Events postcard for the first half of 2020.
I look forward to seeing all of you in Cambridge, MD!
