| Club Closed till Further Notice |
The Barrie Bridge Club is CLOSED as of Wednesday, March 18. We are deeply saddened by this. The process to reach this decision and the decision itself has caused deep divisions within your executive and club. We need your support and your show of support. This is a truly nasty time not just for us and for other such clubs but for everyone. Please reach out to help neighbours and almost neighbours. Give what you can when you can. Above all, be safe. We are hoping to see you again in two weeks. Much more will become evident and clear by then, we trust. Help and be safe. Best to all of you, Monty.

| Message From the President |
Hi everyone,
I hope that you are safe and only slightly cabin-fever-mad. Several members have approached the executive with a great idea. They have said that they would donate all or some of the money that would have been table fees to the club. Sort of a “we miss you lots but if you are gone completely away, we would be devastated” realization. The generosity of these offers is truly heart-warming.
We suggest that you mail your cheque donation to: Barrie Bridge Club, 18 Alliance Blvd #3, Barrie, L4M 5K3
or if you happen to be grocery shopping in the area, put your envelope in mailbox #3. The mailbox will be checked and emptied at least every 3 days. Thanks again for all those offers. Be safe and be kind.
Monty
