greatest number of masterpoints earned at over 33 each. Top point winners were:
1 33.15 Rod Van Wyk, Alton IL

Our local clubs and Unit 143 are seriously looking for ways to expand participation in bridge by increasing our membership and increasing participation by existing members. Our next Sectional is in May. The weather promises to be great along with the hospitality, and don't forget the bridge! We hope to see you all at the best sectional of the year in District 8.
