Zachary and I have taken some time to revamp
our afternoon schedule, weekdays from 3:00-5:00
PM. It's all about students and newer players!
We're going to continue with casual social
supervised play sessions Tuesday and Friday.
We're adding a special workshop with Zachary on
Mondays, new class sessions on Wednesdays, and
an official novice 0-20 bridge game on
Thursdays.
New classes are starting at the end of February
and beginning of March. See the descriptions

March will also feature free Wednesday
morning bridge seminars by Platinum Life
Master Lulu Minter, and a full day seminar on
Sunday March 30 by the amazing Robert Todd.
