Join us for the RBA annual membership meeting, May 8 at the ACCA Temple, 1712 Bellevue Avenue. Dinner starts at 5:30 p.m., followed by the meeting and awards at 6:15 p.m.There will be both a 0-300 and open game at 7:00 p.m. This is a non-election year, but various award winners will be recognized.
There will be a vote on a by-law change. Article VIII, Section B currently reads “No Officer shall be re-elected to the same office for more than two consecutive terms.” The proposed change will read “The President shall not be elected to more than two consecutive terms.”
The change allows for more continuity for the positions of Secretary and Treasurer.
The cost for dinner and game is just $15.00. Sign up at the Bridge Center or send a check made out to the RBA to Chris D’Ambra, 611 Muirfield Clourt, Richmond, VA 23236.
