CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!!

We're really close to getting back to face-to-face bridge, even though many of those faces will be masked.  While we do appreciate Bridge Base helping us get through the past 12+ months, it's not the same as seeing our friends at the club.  So here's what we can look forward to.

The above is just the current plan.  We're sure there will be changes as the clubs work theirr way back to normal.

Clubs will continue online games at BBO for the foreseeable future. This may just be transitional but if there is sufficient interest they could go on indefinitely.

There are a few other club games in the area but we limited this to those that have multiple games per week.  You can find info on all clubs on our web site at  www.dbaa.us/member-clubs.

If you have questions, you can contact each club directly.  You can find links to their web sites and contact information at www.dbaa.us/member-clubs.

We're looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
