Enthusiasm Growing
This past month has shown a vast increase in our session sizes. Last Tuesday we had a 6 table session and Friday a group of 8 tables. We are having a lot of fun.
I have been getting some help with our BridgeMates scoring system from Dan Pape who runs the Concord games and I think I will soon be able to really use them. We may need some more if our group continues to grow. What a lovely problem to have.
Friday, Feb. 5 Evergreen winners were: N/S First, Ron and Shirley Jeffers; second, Dick Brisbin and Pat Featherston; third, Anna and Dave Goff; E/W First, Georgia Sorensen and Wade Lowder; second, Judy Gealy and Pat Macon; third, John and Myrnie McLaughlin.
