Duplicate Sanctioned Bridge
Kathy Bergman
We are all aware of how important Alzheimer’s research is as we age. Our PebbleCreek Duplicate Sanctioned Bridge club helped raise funds to support research of this dreadful disease. In April we collected cash donations and raffled off donated items to raise funds. The ACBL (American Contract Bridge League) has a longest day bridge event every year on June 21 and our club joined in the participation to raise awareness of this disease. This year we exceeded our $3000 goal by collecting a fantastic amount of $4019. Wonderful thanks to all our members who donated time and money to the Alzheimer’s research. Great job!
