After several years of use, the seat coverings on 200 chairs have deteriorated and need to be replaced. Through the generous donation of John Garrison and installation assistance from Ron Andrews, we have repaired the first 24 chairs. They look great.
 
At a cost of close to $20,000, we need Member support to deal with this somewhat large and unanticipated expense.  We’re asking for your help in raising the needed funds.
 
Here are three suggestions for donations: 

                         Table Donors = 4 Chairs at $100 = $400
                         Pair Donors = 2 Chairs at $100 = $200
                         Single Chair Donors = 1 Chair at $100
 
To donate, you can pay in person at the club; send a check to Vero Beach Bridge Club, 1520 14th Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32960; or 

CLICK HERE

to pay by credit card. As we are a 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is tax deductible.
 
On behalf of the Board, the Club Managers and all of us who appreciate the importance of comfortable seating, thank you for supporting this effort.

The FLORIDA BRIDGE COLLECTIVE (FBC)

is a new group of clubs that are coming together 

to offer a wide range of online games

to members of independent Florida bridge clubs

Starting April 3rd

Game Days - Every Day of the Week on BBO

Game Times mornings @ 9:25 a.m. for 0-750; 9:30 a.m. for Open

On BBO - go to Virtual Clubs, then ACBL, North America,

then look for 750 FLORIDA VERO BEACH for 750 games

                      FBC will also offer Open games in the afternoon and some evening games under the ‘Florida’ title.

Note: If your partner is not a member of VBBC the procedure is as follows: 

The member must invite the non-member to play online.  The invite will appear on the non-member’s screen and the non-member must accept. 

In addition, if a non-member wishes to play with another non-member, he or she should click on the Competitive tab, then All Tournaments, and search Florida, and the game will appear. 

In this case, either non-member may then chat the director for permission.

VBBC receives a portion of all fees for any VBBC member who plays in these games

and increased share for Vero sponsored morning games

 The September 2020 issue of the ACBL Bulletin, on page 20, has photos that will guide you. Below is a short video with instructions on completing the Convention Card.
