President’s Cup NAP Flight C District Winners!

Congratulations to our President’s Cup district winners (aka, NAP Flight C). Luke Robison, Laszlo Seress, Mee Warren, and James Keiger will represent New York City Unit 155 at the Spring 2020 NABC in Columbus (also pictured, Director Alan Hodesblatt).

Each pair placed in the top of their field in a summer club qualifier hosted at our local clubs. Then, a field of 52 qualifying finalists from New York and Long Island competed in an all-day, 2-session district final on October 27th, 2019.

The President’s Cup North American finals will be held in late March during the Spring NABCs, where our district winners compete against the winners of each of the 25 districts in a 4-session pairs event (one qualifying day, one final day with partial carryover).

They will be joined by John Bell, Anthony Swanwick, Ross Taff, and Leonard Feld from our sister unit and neighbors, Nassau Suffolk County’s Unit 242.
