We extend hearty congratulations to two Essex pairs. Jacek Leznicki & Jerry Owczarek won the Flight B North American Pairs District 3 Finals. Barbara Lowenstein & Dorothy Nutkis won Flight C of the same event. Each of these pairs will receive a stipend from District 3 to attend the North American Bridge championships (The Nationals) to be held in Memphis in March 2012 where they will represent the District and compete in the finals of the North American Pairs Event. Great job and good luck!
