Open letter to our players:

Club will be closing 7-1-22

By now, everyone is aware we no longer have a viable location to play bridge.  After months of looking for a part-time location to play bridge (Community Center, Church Hall, etc.) we have been unsuccessful in acquiring a part-time venue.

So ... plans are being made to close the bridge club.  

However, we would love for another person or group of dedicated bridge players to take over ownership of Eastside Bridge.  If you or your group of bridge players have an interest in owning a bridge club please connect with Stan and/or myself to begin discussion on this potential lifeline to keeping bridge alive in this area.

We would happily give you all bridge equipment, cards, bridge mates, dealing machine, virtual club access, etc.  as well as office management data systems to a person(s) that are interested in keeping the bridge club alive.  In addition, I'm available to assist in managing the club until you get up & running.  What we can't give you is a venue.  That would have to be your investment into owning the club - acquiring a rental agreement and location that you could run the club out of on a F2F basis, 7 days a week.  You would also have access to running the virtual games via the BBO/ACBL portal.

I can not express the sadness we are experiencing with the current turn of events, but due to circumstances - feel it is the wrong time to continue with current ownership of the club.  We are hopeful that a new group of bridge players might have an interest in stepping up to the enjoyment and challenge of owning a bridge club.
