Valley View Bridge Club is very sad and heartbroken to announce that we have lost a very dear a precious friend, Sarah Warnecke.  She will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege to know her.  The following is a heartfelt message from her sweet husband, Don:

Dear Friends,

Sarah Warnecke was a lovely, accomplished, and energetic person. Despite her boundless energy, she passed away on Friday, November 21 in the arms of her family after a prolonged hospitalization for pneumonia. She was supported and loved by her husband Don, her daughter Kindra and her family, and her son Mike and his family. She so appreciated your friendship and the times and events she shared with you through her many communities such as Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, the Dallas Theater Center, TACA, Northwood Woman’s Club, and competitive bridge. She will so miss her time with you. When not with you, she travelled to all seven continents and refreshed periodically back home in North Carolina. A memorial service will be held at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church on Friday, December 19, 2025 at 11:00 am (together with a livestream). Thank you for playing such an important role on the stage of her life.

With love,
Don

We would like to welcome you to Valley View Bridge Club (VVBC)!

Claire and Harry Weisz started the Valley View Bridge club in 1962.  Gerrie Owen started playing at the club in 1970.  In 1996 she started a new bridge club with the same name.  Since then Gerrie has been teaching and running a full time bridge club. The club started in 1996. Prior to COVID there were games 7 days a week. Currently  she has games 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Sunday) and classes Twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). 

♠ Prepaid Punch Cards ♠ 

For your convenience, Valley View Bridge Club is offering a Prepaid Punch Card to be used for VVBC games.  You will receive10 games for $100.  An $11 savings to you.  Note: There are a few ACBL-wide special games each year where the ACBL charges extra; therefore, we will not be able to accept the punch card; however, if you choose, you can use your card and pay the extra $1.  With that said, the punch card should not be use for the VVBC Sunday Unit 176 games as these games are only $10/pp. See one of the directors to purchase your Prepaid Punch Card.
