♥ ♣ Help us raise funds for Blood Cancer United (Leukemia/Lymphoma) and get some FRIENDLY apparel
We are excited to be partnering with one of our club member's granddaughters (Hayden) in her 2026 Student Visionary Blood Cancer Campaign through Friendly Bridge Club embroidered logoed apparel and logoed hats & mugs. Student visionaries are the leaders of tomorrow, as they have taken on the challenge to embark on an exciting 7-week journey with a goal to create a world without blood cancers, striving to earn the Student Visionary of the Year title. This is a nationwide campaign with over 1,000+ high school students managing campaign teams with the goal to raise $2M+.

YOU are the CHAMPIONS, my FRIEND
The ACBL allows each club to run two Club Championship games per quarter for each game day/time. Friendly has four games per week, thus we get eight club championship games per quarter. These games award more masterpoints than regular games. When I stumbled upon some "Bridge Club Champion" trophies, I decided we could have fun making use of these trophies. Thus our Club Championship games now come complete with trophies (For the photo op that is), and the winners of the Club Championship games will be the REIGNING club champions - until the next Club Championship game on that day. (So we will have the most recent club champion for each day we hold games!)
The Saturday 1/11/26 club champions are Bob Scallan & Suresh Agrawal in the Open and Debor Cassen in the 499.
The Thursday 1/1/26 club champions (and first of 2026) are John Schwartz and Jim Bauer.
The Monday 12/22 club champions are Natalie Rollier and Preston Morrow
The Friday 12/5 game co-winners are Mary Lynn Genovesi & Bob Holliday, and Rich Brandenberg & Tony Pellegrini
Congratulations to the above winners, and we look forward to seeing more of you compete for Friendly CLUB CHAMPIONS!!

Press "Reservation Required". Enter your name, OR email, OR ACBL # and press CHECK. (if you just press enter, you will need to enter your name, or email, or acbl # again and press CHECK). A prompt should appear for you to enter your partner's name, and direction preference. Then press ADD RESERVATION If it says "Member not Found" after pressing Check we will need to add you to the database (or determine if we have you with your name spelled differently), so contact us at vjremmers@gmail.com. If you want to make a reservation for a game in the next month, click on the right arrow in the upper right corner of the calendar to move to the next month. Note - if you have achieved Life Master and now have a letter as the first character of your ACBL #, you need to enter you ACBL # with the letter in the first digit.
