This is a general overview of the financial operations of Bridge Shediac.  

As we are a non-profit organisation, all funds collected are used for the operation of the club which include the following:  

• Weekly expenses ($90 to $100 per week)
  • ​​Director's fee
  • Room rental 
  • ACBL fees (There is a fee per table, per game and other charges
• ​​Equipment (Total equipment and supplies purchased to date = $1320)
  • Boards
  • Playing Cards
  • Bidding Boxes
  • Various printed forms (travellers, convention forms/score forms, etc)
  • Laminated Guide cards

​We are currently operating at a break even point but hope that our revenues will increase in the Spring and Summer as the snowbirds return and the cottage crowd moves in. We will also be exploring some possible fund raising opportunities.  If finances permit we would like to purchase electronic handheld scoring devices (Bridgemates).  10 Bridgemates with the server would cost about $2100.  We must also consider buying a laptop (we are currently using an old one that Nancy is kind enough to let us use.

Next Spring/Summer we will look into some possible fund raising activities.  One such activity is selling tickets on the print of an original painting.  Paulette Foulem who is one of our regular players is also a professional artist of international repute and she has graciously offered to give us one of her prints for this purpose. We thank her very much and will consider how best to use this gift as a fundraising opportunity in the summer months when there are more people around.  For those of you not familiar with this artist's work, please have a look at her website "www.foulem.ca".

We are sad to announce that our club founder, Nancy Gamlin Légère passed away Tuesday, May 31.  We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her husband, Paul Emile and all the family.  

Thank You for everything you've done for us, Nancy!

C'est avec regret qu'on vous annonce le décès de notre fondatrice, Nancy Gamlin Légère, mardi 31 mai.  Nos sincères condoléances à son époux, Paul Emile et à sa famille.

Merci pour tout, Nancy!
