  LOOKING for VOLUNTEERS to MENTOR THE SATURDAY MORNING 0-50 SUPERVISED GAME

Remember when you were at this stage?

Our Saturday morning 0-50 supervised game will be starting up again on Sept.12.  Supervised games allow the players to ask question about the bidding etc. We need a volunteer (intermediate or higher level player) to answer basic questions from the group. This will help the players learn and keep the game going. 
You do not have to be a director to do this. Directors calls will still be done by the game director.
A calendar will be put up on the volunteer board for you to sign up.  Please help out with this cause.  It not only helps the novices, but also the club.
