It's the week before Christmas, and bridge is
in the house! We will be open Tuesday - Saturday
for our regular games and events next week. Drop
by to play!
Declarer Play Workshop
We still have room for some students in Friday
morning's Declare Play Workshop.
This is a one-time class by visiting instructor
Denise Hoffman, Program Director for Better
Bridge Teacher Training.
The cost is a bargain $25 and includes a
booklet by Audrey Grant. We'll start at 9:30 AM
on Friday, and it should be a great time.
But if you want to come, please let us know
soon! We have to plan to get the materials and
boards ready for the class.

ACBL Memberships
I have two reasons to bring this up now!
One, the annual membership fee is going up on
January 1. For the best bargain, I did a
three-year renewal. Highly recommended.
Second, as a new player, you'll want to have an
ACBL player number for joining in duplicate
bridge games, both at the club and online.
If you've never been an ACBL member, the
good news is that you can get your lifetime
player number and a free "guest membership" for
four months. There's more to the deal: If you
join as a guest member, you can convert to a
full member for a significant discount.
Here is the link to join ACBL as a guest member
and get your player number: https://my.acbl.org/membership/join?club=277210&teacher=8202249
Classes this week
Individual classes are available to join for
$25. No need to sign up for a full course.
Mojo's pick for this week: Wednesday
evening, 2/1GF practice hands. How often do you
get nothing but hands involving either 2/1GF or
the forcing 1NT?
Here are the topics this week:
- Wednesday, 7:00 PM, Two Over One Game
Force "Practice Hands"
- Thursday, 7:00 PM, Bridge Basics 3 -
Popular Conventions "Slam Bidding and
Blackwood"
Saturday Workshop and Game: We started
with takeout doubles last week. For the next few
we'll look at other uses of the double, starting
this week with Negative
Doubles (or as Audrey and I call them,
"Responder's Double").

"Eight is enough" New Year's Eve team game at
1:00 PM Dec. 31.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
