Congratulations Lulu!
The online bridge clubs are going strong. We're enjoying our game
pool with Downey, Pomona, Glendale, and Santa Clarita units. The
full schedule of games is available at
https://bridgemojo.com/unit556.
I'm starting new online bridge classes on Defense, November 1, and
Improving Your Judgment - Doubles, November 2. Both are probably a
little too soon for the bridge news, but you're welcome to join in
for the second class.
I've also been busy following my calling to teach newcomers and
create new players. My students are adults from the ACBL Intro to
Bridge course, and kids from the BridgeWhiz program. The players
come from all over North America, and my hope is that I can spark an
interest that flows into bridge at all levels someday.
