We are organized as a member owned, not for profit bridge club.  Our mission is to provide a venue for our members to enjoy a friendly game of duplicate bridge at a fair cost in a pleasant environment.  We also offer bridge lessons for new players and lessons for existing players desiring to improve their skills.

We use RSVP Bridge for ALL our game reservations. If you want to play in a game, please sign up in advance for the game.  If too few players have signed up for a game a couple days before it is scheduled, the game will be canceled.
