Help Help
Help Help
Bridge Haven has a lot of new bridge players. We would like to ask for
your help with two things:
We would like to develop a library so the new (and old) bridge players have some references available for them. If you have some old bridge books available and would like to donate them to Bridge Haven's library, it would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of the new players would like to play with more experienced player. You do not have to be a life master, just willing to help new players learn new conventions and duplicate, protocol. If you are reading this, and willing to help a new player, please call me, Home= 314-822-9454 cell=314-374-6027 or let me know at the club. Thank you.

Traffic Alert. Please be alert to the STOP sign on Utz road. The police sit in the Hazelwood post office and if you do not make a complete stop as you pull out, going S. on Lindbergh Blvd. they will pull you over. It has happen to me and to other bridge players when there thoughts are on the wonderful world of bridge and not the STOP sign.
