Vince-A-Rama should sign up and pay the fee of $20
per person to the Senior Center by August 15. If
possible, at least one member of each team pair
should have been a bridge student of Vince
Giuliano. Games will be played monthly from
October through May and prizes will be awarded at
a bridge party for participants in June at the
Senior Center. For those who would like to play
their games at the Senior Center, space will be
available from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m. on the first
Tuesday of the month from October through May.
Those who prefer to play at home may continue to
do so. If you are interested, please sign up even
though you do not have a partner, and an attempt
will be made to pair you with another player.
Those who signed up at the June 2004 party still
need to pay their fee by August 15. If you have
questions, call Wendy or Jim Craig (973-4975) or

Bridge is a truly wonderful game, played by tens of
millions, with many potential rewards. Bridge can teach
you so many important things - it has elements of logic,
partnership cooperation, discipline, psychology,
mathematics and ethics.
Bridge is a game without barriers. People of
all ages, races, nationalities and levels of skill enjoy
the excitement of the world's greatest game. Bridge not
only stimulates the brain and provides the joy of
competition, but it is also an ideal setting for
socializing with interesting people and making new
friends.
From Classic
Bridge Quotes by Jared Johnson

new friends at the bridge table."
- Martina Navratilova
"Bridge is the most entertaining and
intelligent card game the wit of man has so far devised."
- Somerset Maugham
"Playing bridge reflects intelligence.
It's one of the really great pleasures of life. I think
anybody who's missing bridge is missing so much in life.
Don't make the mistake of missing out on the fun of
bridge."
