Improve Your Bridge Game
Every Friday •12:45 - 2:45 p.m. • Shapiro Wing C
Coordinator/Instructor: Angela Friedman
Weak two’s? Transfers? Negative doubles? If these sound more like Greek than the bridge you know, join us for an afternoon of fun and practice OLLI Standard. We have selected the conventions that we feel are most important and are working on using them. Reaching better contracts and playing hands with more confidence will not only improve your score but increase your enjoyment of the game. Join us every Friday or whenever you can. Bridge players are always welcome.

Monday Morning Duplicate Bridge
Every Monday • 9:15 a.m. (set up) • 9:30 a.m. - noon • Shapiro Wing ABD
Coordinators: Don Jebens, Bob Nixon, John Pinson
Instructor: Ralph Utrup
Monday Morning Duplicate Bridge has provided more consecutive semesters of service to our members than any other OLLI class. One reason for the longevity of this class is that bridge is intellectually stimulating and we enjoy a competitive level of play in a friendly environment. This class meets three semesters each year and during intersession between the spring and summer semesters.
Another reason for our longevity is that we strive to accommodate single players by providing partners when needed. Over the years more and more of our members also play duplicate bridge at senior centers and in ACBL sanctioned games for master points. This is the result of the instruction by Ralph Utrup, and OLLI's other bridge classes taught by Angela Friedman and Allan Miller.
