| Face to Face Bridge is Returning! |
We will resume casual bridge on Tuesday, May 18th, at 1:00 pm. Donation request for Tuesdays will be $3.00.
Duplicate Bridge will resume on Friday, June 4th at 1:00 pm. We plan on having an open group and a 99er group as we did on previous Fridays BC (Before Covid). We will be using boards, bidding boxes and Bridge Mates. The donation request for Fridays will be $5.
You will be required to sign a statement saying that you have been vaccinated when you enter the building. I will be standing at the door to collect these.
We will not be serving coffee or any other beverages. We will also not be serving food. If you want coffee and snacks, you will need to bring your own. Please do not bring food for the whole group. We are not ready for this yet.
We will continue to have online bridge on Thursday and Saturday, but the online game on Friday will cease on June 4th. We do not have enough players to hold an online game and a duplicate game simultaneously.
I am really excited about seeing everyone face to face!

| More Opportunities to Play Online Bridge! |
The Brevard Duplicate Bridge Club has joined the Southeast Carolina Bridge Consortium.
What does this mean for you?
More online games, seven days a week!
The Southeast Carolina Consortium includes several clubs from North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.
There are games offered by the consortium as well as the individual clubs.
If you go to their website, you will see two schedules - one for the consortium games, and another for the individual club games. All of these games are available for you to play in.
It is important to remember though, that you should play in a Brevard game if one is offered at the time you want to play. That supports our club and keeps it vibrant and healthy so that we all have a game to return to when in-person bridge resumes.
Contact Pam Harpootlian with any questions.
