JUNE HAS THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR

Our Club is again supporting ACBL’s partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association by participating in The Longest Day Campaign. 
  
Donations of ANY amount are appreciated.  You can donate at the club or by clicking here.  

Several excellent players and professionals have volunteered their playing time for a fixed price in our 
Play Up a Little, Play Up a Lot
 fundraiser.  


All of the funds raised will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association.
Click THE LONGEST DAY button to see the list of players you can purchase and instructions.   

 

 On Saturday, June 24, the club will hold a special game with all entry fees going to the Alzheimer’s Association. We will have a Potluck lunch at noon and an Open game at 1:00 pm with extra point awards.

 

New F2F and Online classes are starting on June 17!

Both classes will be taught on Saturdays.  The F2F class will be taught at the Club by Susan Banks-Johnson and Andy Remson.  Sam Khayatt will teach online.

If you would like to learn to play bridge for the first time,
bone up on your basics and have the opportunity to ask questions in a safe 
environment.
or you have friends that are interested in learning bridge, these classes are for you!

Both classes will be using Audrey Grant teaching materials with the same lesson presented F2F and online each week.  You will have access to three excellent teachers.

To sign up, please contact Susan Banks-Johnson or Sam Khayatt.

Congrats to our Players with recent Big Games!
