UNIT INFORMATION

•  Geographical Map of Unit 143

•  Mission Statement

•  Goals & Focus

  Because Board Members are elected at the October Sectional, the goals and such tend to be oriented to November through October (our fiscal year is actually Oct 1 - Sept 30)-- in other words, when the newly elected members are part of the decision-making process. Obviously, many goals and actions are perpetuated. Overlap may occur.

  2008-2009: Goals are currently being discussed at the Board of Directors meetings.

  2007-2008: Unit 143 is interested in promoting and expanding the playing of duplicate bridge in the St. Louis area, especially at its sectional and regional tournaments. To help accomplish this goal it is desirable to teach players who are new to bridge and/or duplicate bridge to play duplicate bridge. Grants to fund appropriate bridge teaching proposals and projects which promote the above objectives may be awarded, but there is limited funding.  Read More...
