Each Wednesday afternoon the Bridge room is packed as players arrive to participate in Social or Duplicate Bridge on a rotating basis each week. There is always a big turn- out for a fun group dinner following the Wednesday play. Marathon bridge runs from August through March. Member-member partners play other Club members monthly, with each pair organizing their competitive matches. Another great venue to increase your skill and get to know others. Is your spouse/significant other wanting to join the fun? Couples bridge is a huge hit each month. Couples enjoy a late afternoon of bridge followed by a group dinner. We are looking forward to our holiday bridge luncheon and game play on December 16th. Bridge players gather at 9:30 for a round robin format followed by a delicious lunch in the ballroom. We will highlight pictures of the festivities and winners in the next issue. Cheers from the Bridge room! BRIDGE BOARD INCLUDES: MJ Olsen (President), Tory Whipple (VP), Julie Wright (Secretary), Carole Fischer (Treasurer),), Kristen Frey (Social), Shannon Kaloper (Social), Genevieve Primos (Communications), Debbie Skubic (Sunshine Rep) Karen Smith (Couples), Beachie Hall (Round Robin), Cynthia Tanner (Duplicate), Melissa Dickens (Marathon), Mare Mills (Beginners)
