Nominations due by: November 14, 2026
Mimi Esser was a cherished member of our club that we lost all too soon.
She was one of the founding members from 2009 when
“We wanna hold your hand” kicked the Bridge doors open to new blood.
For those of you who don’t know, it was a time that a ton of interest was shown
and major classes began and new blood arrived to learn and play bridge.
Mimi was there at the beginning, (like so many) supporting Marsha Helton.
To honor Mimi this award was created.
It exemplifies her qualities of selflessness, generosity and vast amounts of goodwill.
