We really need some volunteers to help with this game. Please email Barbara or Josee Hammill if you might be able to help us with these weekly games. Even if you could attend once a month, that would be a huge help.

Many students have questions (which is why they are there) and help is needed. Bonita Weinstein, Leila Bessada, Carol Bongard, Ann Katz and Linda Ujihara have been an enormous help to date. We thank them.

This game will continue on during the summer now, due to popular demand.

This game is a stepping stone up from Tuesday afternoon games where you currently use bidding aids and ask questions throughout.
