What Makes a Great Mentor?

Have you been a mentor for the Unit mentoring program? Would you like to be? We are so fortunate to have many experienced players help new and intermediate bridge players to advance.
Those mentors who get raves from their mentees say that the mentors...

*Established a friendly and open dialogue
*Shared their own bridge journey
*Explained what would be happening during the session
*Provided an opportunity for questions
*Had a lot of patience
*Kept the conversation on bridge
*Provided a lot of encouragement

If you are interested in being one of our STAR mentors, contact Charlie Vandborg at 805 268-3074 or Cheryl Service at 805 709-3297
We'd love to have you!

This month's mentoring session is Saturday, December 14.
