  Mark your Calendars for these future special events. Come join the fun.

  Beginning March 12, Joe Viola will be available every second Tuesday of the month at 10:30 AM at the CBC to chat about bridge. Do you have a question about a particular hand? Are you wondering which defense over a no trump opening he thinks works the best? Does he recommend upside down carding or standard. All you need to do is bring yourself and your questions, and Joe will do his best to answer them. If you are concerned about something
  particularly complex, you can always clue him in beforehand so he can come prepared.

  For those who prefer to play from home, there’s a BBO game each Tuesday evening beginning at 7:00 pm for players with fewer than 499 master points. Contact Anne Donnovin at 423-605-2996 or Stewart Lawwill at 324-718-0791 for more information.

  The month of June brings John Friedl back to the club. Each Wednesday in June at 10:00 am John will be conducting an abbreviated introduction to the 2 over 1 convention at the Bridge Center. The cost will be $5.00 per class with the proceeds going to the CBC. There is a sign up sheet at the CBC to let John know approximately how many attendees to expect. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to improve your 2/1 bidding. John is an amazing teacher.

  Mentor/Mentee Games

  The Second and Fourth Monday at 7:00 pm on BBO there is a Mentor/Mentee game.  This game is designed for Mentors to work with the Mentees in an effort to improve their bidding and playing of hands. The Mentor will work with the Mentee to create a Convention Card the Mentee is comfortable with. To play and be assigned a partner, you need to contact Anne Donnovin at 423-605-2996 or aadonnovin@bellsouth.net

  The monthly Mentor/Mentee game held at 12 noon has been permanently moved to the 4th Friday due to continuous conflicts with various ACBL tournaments that pull away quite a few of the regular Mentors. This creates a shortage of Mentors to play with Mentees. This is an amazing opportunity to play bridge with a Mentor who will offer advice about bids and card play to help you improve your bridge game.  Contact Sandy Cervantes at 423-315-1953 and she will assign you a partner.

  There are currently quite a few players that fall into at least one of these categories. The Chattanooga Bridge Center is dedicated to offering every possible opportunity for you to come join us. This only works if the attendance merits the effort so you are strongly encouraged to participate at the level you are most comfortable.

  We look forward to seeing you more often at the Chattanooga Bridge Center.
