Following the success of the recent “Introduction to Bridge” class, the Sewickley YMCA is excited to offer “Bridge – Basic 2 – Competitive Bidding.” It is designed for those who completed the first class and are ready to continue learning their game.  The” Introduction to Bridge” class brought together enthusiastic learners who discovered that bridge is both a fun mental challenge and a wonderful way to build friendships. Led by Bill Holt with the assistance of Marilyn Sittig, Suzy Morgan, Pat Cavalier, Pat Rambasek and Terri Tunick, whose patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm helped create a welcoming environment for every participant. Their combined knowledge and love of the game made learning both enjoyable and accessible.

Here are some participants’ comments:

• “I really enjoyed learning bridge. It is a game that can give a lifetime of learning and
  enjoyment. The people I met were warm and welcoming. It is a wonderful game.”
• “Bridge is social, requires strategy, and memory. It is endorsed by the Alzheimer's Association. It is fun!”
• “I learn something in every class.”
• “The classes were great and the continued supervised play is both fun and educational.
• I would recommend getting involved with bridge in any capacity.”
• “Bridge is a wonderful and horrible game! It is a challenge to learn but a pleasure to play.”
• “As a lifelong game player, I’ve fallen in love with bridge. The design of the game is just brilliant and challenging. I am totally hooked.”

Registration for Introduction to Bridge –Basic 2 – Competitive Bidding is open, and the class will begin on Tuesday, June 2 and end on Tuesday, July 7. Classes are from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the Board Room.

Whether you are continuing your bridge journey or stepping back in to the game, everyone is welcome to be part of this growing community.
