Fairy GOLDmother wins Weiss-Bertoni Award

The 2025 winner of the Weiss-Bertoni award is Sue Miguel.

For many years Sue has worked tirelessly to promote duplicate bridge in District 25 and Rhode Island. Sue is the club director of the successful Viking Bridge Club in Portsmouth. When Covid stopped all face-to-face bridge, she was directing BBO games 6 days per week to keep the game alive. In addition to all her responsibilities as President of District 25, which requires 50 hours of work each week, she was also the President of the RI Bridge Association, and she is the current treasurer.

Bridge is a family affair in Sue’s house. She met her husband Greg playing bridge and her son Johnathan is well on his way to becoming a life master.
Sue has been the director of the District 25 I/N games for at least 20 years. She has become affectionately known as the Fairy-Gold-Mother and was also in I/N Chair at the 2022 NABC in Providence. Her nurturing demeanor has allowed her to sheppard nervous beginners into duplicate bridge.

Since becoming President of District 25 in 2024, Sue has worked to make District regionals fun and entertaining with cocktail parties, ice cream socials, theme nights and Pro-Am events. The new BridgeFest and Bracketed Pairs events have become successful because of her tireless work promoting these events. Here work has not gone unnoticed by the ACBL as she was elected to be on the ACBL Advisory Council. Now that Sue’s tenure as President of District 25 is ending she will now serve the District as the new Regional Representative beginning January 1.
