HISTORY OF THE RISE
& FLY FUN CLUB
The Rise & Fly Club is a bid
whist club founded in 1980. Our motto is “ To engage in friendly competitive
bid whist in a congenial atmosphere.” Our
membership capacity is 24, we currently have 20 active members. We still have
one full-time and two associate members who are a part of the founding group. Over
75% have been members for 10 years or more. Most members reside in the greater Los
Angeles metropolitan area, but we have one associate member
in Austin, Texas and one in Chicago, IL.
Meeting are usually on Saturdays with the date set by the host/hostess. Playing
partnerships are determined by a random drawing in each of the eleven playing
months. Winning trophies and patches are awarded in September, the designated
business meeting month. In addition to presenting trophies, we elect officers,
appoint committees, set meeting rotations, develop our event calendar and conduct other
club business.
Some of our events are trips to Hawaii, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe; cruises, camping trips,
snow weekends each March to Lake Arrowhead, a weekend houseboat trip on Lake Mead or Lake
Mojave, the Long Beach and Monterey Blues Festivals, bowling, roller skating , a
formal dance for the club’s 10th year anniversary and we just like hanging out
together on different occasions.
