PebbleCreek Duplicate Sanctioned Bridge

Kathy Bergman

Why Play Bridge? Bridge stimulates the brain. Bridge is one of the best ways to practice the “use it or lose it” advice for maintaining mental sharpness in older age. Research has shown that regular bridge playing improves reasoning skills and long-and–short term memory. You’ll feel the neurons firing not only while you play, but long after.
