It's the season for beginning bridge classes, and it's certainly the
year for them!
We have two beginning bridge classes starting in September, both are
six weeks long, using the Audrey Grant Better Bridge curriculum. Bridge
Basics 1 - Introduction starts Sept. 10 on Saturday Mornings
at 9:30 a.m. at the Arcadia Bridge Center. Another session starts on
Sept. 14, Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m., through PCC Extension at
Arcadia High School.
Online games continue with six games a week through the Unit 556+PPD
group. The schedule is available at https://bridgemojo.com/unit556
I'll be taking over day-to-day club management for Paula Olivares in
September and October. We send a reminder email and take
reservations on the day before each game. If you'd like to be
included in the email list, drop me a note to
virtualclub@bridgemojo.com.
