Welcome!

Here on the Central Coast of California we have four locations for you to indulge in the best game in the world:  BRIDGE!!

Our SLO Club has games in downtown San Luis Obispo, the 5 Cities Club plays in Arroyo Grande, and the North County Club is in Paso Robles.  With three sites in operation, there is a robust schedule of games throughout the month.  Check out the schedule with the Calendar button on menu at the top-left of this page.  Club addresses and fees are here.

New members and guests are always welcome, so please come join us.  If you need a partner, let us know here.

Alzheimer's Association 2026

Each year our Unit enthusiastically joins the rest of ACBL in raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. Millions of dollars raised by ACBL members have gone into the search for a cure and for the care of Alzheimer patients.  Please join us at this special time of year as we once again open our hearts and wallets.

___________________________
 

Heading up our fundraising efforts this year is Pat DelaMontanya.  She has organized the following ways of giving…

  1. The popular Player Auction.  Seven members of our Unit will be the partner of the top two(2) people who bid for them.  The Player Auction closes at 9pm on Sunday, June 21.  Click the Online Auction to make your bid!
     
  2.  The Raffle.  Raffle tickets are for sale at each game played between now and Friday, June 19.  Tickets are 1 for $5 or 5 for $20.  Winners are drawn at the SLO Club game on June 22.  (You do not need to be present to win.)
     
  3. Betty Hsu has created many lovely earrings which she has donated and are being sold at the clubs with all funds going directly to the cause.

  1. Individual contributions. The ACBL has provided a website for us where our members can donate directly to the Alzheimer's Association on behalf of Unit 540's fundraising goal.  This is the link to the donation site.
     
*** Social Event Fundraiser ***

All are encouraged to attend as our bridge community joins together in support of the Alzheimer's Association.

The suggested donation is $20 per person, but we encourage you to donate generously. Please pay in cash or by check made out to Alzheimer's Association. Wine, sodas and appetizers will be served. Please RSVP by June 12 to bridgeunit540@gmail.com
