The 2018 Summer sectional was held Aug 17-19 at the Marina Village Conference Center, and attended by many of you. We hosted a total of 232.5 tables, which is a drop from last August's sectional table count of 258. It takes a lot of work and a lot of people to put on a Sectional. Thanks go to all the volunteers and workers—seen and unseen—who made this event possible. They include our greeters Gigette Caldwell and Sharon Pryz, Marianne Klayman for preparing the afternoon cookies, Gareth Maden for help with set-up and transportation, Evan Ziegler for helping Marge with partnerships, John Lagodimos for allowing us to use his bridge tables at no cost, and finally to Davis Bennett who worked very hard the entire weekend.

And for those who didn't attend, we want to understand why so that we can fix it if its within our control. Please provide your suggestions to lamya.agelidis@gmail.com.

Results are available as usual under the Calendar tab from the Home page. Use these links to see the top master point holders among Open players, 1499ers and 299ers. Congratulations to all winners, and thank you all for coming out and supporting your local Sectional.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next Sectional early March 2018. Stay tuned for more!
