2012 Mentor Program
As requested by many players, Unit 550 is repeating the successful Mentor Program from 2011
so that less experienced players can learn from more senior players to improve their bridge skills. The
full program, which is essentially unchanged from 2011, is described
here.
Please contact
Dick Wasserstrom,
the Mentor Program Coordintor, at 426-6434,
if you have any questions about the program or to sign up. Mentors are needed please!
You may also sign up on the sheets on the Unit Bulletin Board at the SCBC.
Interested mentors and mentees should sign up by February 10; the program will begin March 1.
Don't miss this great opportunity to improve your bridge or to help someone else improve their bridge.
