Holiday Parties – Best Wishes to Everyone

Yes, it is that time of year already. The Holiday parties are Free Play days for 
all members. You are asked to bring a treat to share.  The Xmas party will be on 
Wed. Dec. 21st. Those with last names beginning with A-K are asked to bring food. 
The New Years party will be Fri. Jan. 6th. Last names beginning with L-Z are asked 
to bring food to share.

Board of Directors – Live Oak Wants YOU!

The club is run by a Board of Directors elected annually by the members. Directors 
meet a handful of times during the year, usually after a game, to take care of club 
business. We would like you to serve on the board. To nominate yourself, or someone 
else, please contact Larry Zeni, or another board member.

Berkeley-El Cerrito-Richmond (BER) Unit Games

The BER Unit Game is the 4th Sunday of each month at 1PM at the El Cerrito 
Community Center, usually in the Skylight Room, occasionally in the elegant City 
Council chambers.  It needs your participation to survive. Fee is only $5, 
including a bountiful spread of food. The next game on Sunday Nov. 27th is an ACBL 
charity game, with an extra $1 fee going to charity. The December game will be the 
Holiday Party, with singing, and a wonderful holiday spread. It is on a special day 
and time: 7 PM on Saturday Dec. 17th.

Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STAC) Game

On Wed. Dec. 7th, and Fri. Dec. 9th, we will hold Great Western Region STAC games. 
These allow you to compete against many other players in clubs throughout the West. 
If you do well, you can win lots of extra points. The club pays the extra fees 
associated with this event, so the cost to you is the same as a normal club game.
