| A Home of our Own |
November 7, 2019
Dear Friends and Players,
We are expecting completion of construction of the Duncan Bridge Center in the Wernick Family Building by December 1. This new facility has been the goal of the Coachella Valley Bridge Foundation (CVBF) ever since Ray and Jan Duncan envisioned a "home of our own." We will start to hold games there as soon as the tables and chairs are moved, approximately mid December. We are planning a Grand Opening Gala Celebration in mid January. This will be your celebration and a truly fun day with a few surprises planned. It wil be a DO NOT MISS event. I will let you know as soon as the date is confirmed.
Duncan Bridge Center is unique. It is the only wholly-owned tax-deductible and charitable dedicated center in the Valley. It gives back 100% of its revenues to the bridge playing community. We appreciate your support of this Center so that we are able to continue our mission.
Now comes a new goal! We will have a loan from Bob Wernick for the balance of the cost of the building. We will strive to pay him back as soon as possible. When this has been paid off, CVBF will be in a position to lower card fees and bring affordable bridge to many more players. We are dedicated to bridge instruction and will have a dedicated class room. Thanks to all of you who have given already. If you have not donated to the CVBF, please consider doing so, so that others may continue to learn and enjoy the game.
Donations may be made payable to CVBF, c/o Brackett, 1595 S. San Joaquin Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264
Sincerely,
Beverly Hartin and the CVBF Board of Directors
