party.
Spike, our beloved Club Manager for 16 years, resigned his
position to pursue other interests. His contribution
to our club is immeasurable.
Spike will continue to play at our club and hopefully,
arrangements will be made for him to periodically conduct his
famous Q&A sessions which are filled with humor, wonderful
insights and clear explanations. A gifted teacher, a
great player and a good friend, Spike has been a treasure
for our club.

Gifts delivered to Head Start
 On Friday, December 16th, Pat and Vivian
Heading, George Fryburg and Peggy Snyder delivered approximately 120
gifts from our club to the Head Start Program.
Pat reports: “We helped pass out gifts on a per class basis and
took plenty of pictures. It was a heartwarming experience with many
thanks from the kids and staff. The extra gifts will be given to
children that were not present at the time of the party and also,
some will be used at the school for daily use. The teachers were
very gratified to see such generosity.
All together we received $570.00 for gifts.
Vivian purchased about 36 gifts and spent $405.00. I presented a
check to the manager for $165.00 to be used for classroom supplies."
On a personal level, Pat and Vivian expressed
thanks for being able to “represent the club for this effort. We
both enjoy doing it and would like to express to the club our thanks
and the thanks we get from the Head Start staff and kids.”
Thanks to Pat, Vivian, George and Peggy for
representing our club and touching the hearts of the children at
Head Start. Thanks to all our membership for their generosity
and kindness. There were many special moments at Head Start on
Friday, felt by adult and child alike. Magical moments are rare,
wonderful and remembered. Be sure to ask Pat, Vivian, George
and Peggy for some stories.

New Year's Eve Party
Pictures
A
delicious meal, good friends, and bridge ... a perfect way to welcome in the New Year! Max and Betty Bayard, Sarah and Wayne Ash
and Neil and Judy McCall cooked
turkeys, decorated the club and organized the scrumptious potluck
dinner. Thanks for making it a special evening and thanks to
everyone for the delicious side dishes, appetizers, deserts and
drinks.
We had 15 tables, 9 in the Open Section and 6 in the Limited.
A number of door prizes were drawn during the evening. Thanks
to everyone for coming and making it a wonderful evening.
In the Limited Game, Julie Scaggs-Chibe and Bill
Nolan came in first N-S with Gene and Beverly Pillot second.
Vivian Heading and Evelyn Farnan were first E-W, Betty Miller and
Esther Reeves
were second, with Wayne and
Sarah Ash third.
 Kathy and Jay Baum, friends of Candy Griffey, joined us and felt so
at home, they came in first N-S with a 66% game. Kathy and
Candy are old friends meeting before man walked on the moon. We
enjoyed meeting Kathy and Jay, hope they come back soon, and
wish them well in the New year. Also, good luck to their Iowa
Hawkeyes in the Outback Bowl (but with due deference to our Florida
fans, we do not wish too much luck to Iowa!)
Coming in second N-S were Linda
Miller and Martha Easter with Bill Farnan and Marvin Kindy third.
E-W, Candy Griffey and Joe Reeves, were first with a 64%
game. Max and Betty Bayard were second and coming in third were
Vivian Davis and Norma Bartholomew.
Happy New Year!

A message from
...
 GARY and LYNDA SWENSON want to thank everyone at the Daytona
Metropolitan Bridge Club for your warm hospitality and willingness
to help us play a better bridge game or find a good place to eat in
the area. We will continue to come back about the same time each
year and hope that some of you will someday come to Wichita Falls,
TX (our legal residence), Ruidoso, NM (our Summer home from early
July to early October each year), or to Wilmington, Delaware (we've
just got us a place there to be near our younger daughter). Please
be sure to call us before coming (940-781-9999 or e-mail
lyndaswen@aol.com)
and we'll give you assistance on where to eat, places to play bridge
during your stay, or try to answer your other general questions
about the area.
Thanks to all of your directors (we really like the lessons and
professionalism of all of you). There are many others we would like
to thank but don't want to leave anyone out and so until next year
or until you come to a place where we are. Goodbye.
(Nov 20, 2005)
(Thanks Gary and Lynda. We are delighted you came, saddened you left
and warmed by the thought of your return.)
Congratulations
to
John Dunlap who recently earned his Life Master.
