Golden Gate Grand Slams
San Francisco hosts the Fall NABC, Nov. 22-Dec. 2.

S

an Francisco, one of the world's
truly great cities, will be the
site of the 2007 Fall North
American Bridge Championships,
Nov. 22-Dec. 2. Make your travel
plans now for this exciting event.
The bridge will be fantastic!
Whether you play in the tough top‑
flight events such as the Kaplan
Blue Ribbon Pairs or the Reisinger
Board‑a‑Match Teams, the fun‑but‑
challenging regional and Senior
contests, or the special games for
new and intermediate players, you're
guaranteed to have a blast.
And although the bridge will be
good, the venue will make it even
better. San Francisco is often called
"Everybody's Favorite City," a title
earned by its scenic beauty, cultural
attractions, diverse communities, and
world‑class cuisine. Measuring 49
square miles, this very walkable city

is dotted with landmarks such as the
Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Alca‑
traz and the largest Chinatown in the
United States. A stroll of the city's
streets can lead to Union Square, the
Italian‑flavored North Beach, Fisher‑
man's Wharf, the Castro, Japantown
and the Mission District, with intrigu‑
ing neighborhoods to explore at every
turn.
The NABCs are great fun, featuring
11 days of bridge for players at all
levels - beginners to experts. For the
schedule of events, see pages 12-13
or visit the ACBL web site at www.
acbl.org.
