Announcements

Bridge had a table at Country Road's Activity Fair in the Country Roads Ballroom on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.  Volunteers from the Bridge Club "manned" the table.  A number of people dropped by the table to ask questions about the Club.

We still hope to have a meeting of the Bridge Club sometime in the early Spring.   We still do not have a full slate of officers, so in particular we still need to vote on the replacement of several officer positions.   If you are interested in running for office or helping with the tournament let one of the current officers know.
