Jane and I took advantage of some quiet travel time this past week to
work on the club's social media presence.
If you visit our web site <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> now, you'll
see icons for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, You can "like" or
"follow" the Pasadena Bridge Club on any of those platforms.
If you subscribe to our channel on YouTube, every Saturday morning I'll
be re-releasing a 15-minute-or-so bridge lesson, first produced during
quarantine. The lessons mostly cover some aspect of play or defense.
Great little bites.
