  Sneezing Players

Please refrain from coming to the bridge club if you even think you’re coming down with a cold or flu!

We all know it is allergy season but if you are sneezing and any chance it’s something other than that, we need to stress STAY HOME! Too many members or spouses have compromised immune systems. A little bit of thoughtfulness will go far right now.
