Royal STaC Policy for 2025
Dear District/Unit Presidents and District/Unit STaC Coordinators,
The Royal STaC allowances for 2025 will remain unchanged from 2024. Each Unit may participate in two Royal STaCs during 2025.
Royal STaCs may be held by an individual Unit or by a group of Units, be district-wide, or incorporate parts or the entirety of multiple districts. If a Unit participates in two Royal STaCs, they may not participate in a third even if it is a district-wide STaC.
Units should plan accordingly, bearing in mind that they will be unable to participate in a district-wide or other Royal STaC later in 2025 if they have already participated in two Royal STaCs earlier in the year.
D22's Education Grant
Program is in
full swing
Consistent with its mission of promoting duplicate bridge and specifically programs of education for its membership, District 22 has launched an education grant program, encouraging grant proposals from member units and clubs that focus on bridge education and membership building.
A selection process is then applied, and if accepted, a monetary stipend is issued to the submitting entity. Upon competition of the “project”, we will encourage sharing of their accomplishments to promote best practices within the district.
