Sanctioned Duplicate Bridge
Kathy Bergman
Several of our players from our club attended the summer National Bridge Tournament, which was held in Las Vegas during the week of July 17. Players from all over the world attended the nationals that were held three times during each year in different states. Congratulations to the team of Judy Brown, Shay Kinney, Pat Smith, and Linda Smith for coming in first in the Swiss Bracketed B teams on July 23 as well as coming in second in the Swiss Bracketed B teams on July 24. Congratulations also to Jerry and Kathleen Burch for winning several points at this tournament. Way to go!
