And the three bridge clubs of The Bridge Center...Bridge on Sheridan, Lake Shore Bridge Club and Windy City Bridge Club...would all like to sincerely thank Judy Nelsen for her years of service in getting out this electronic newsletter. She has been a true supporter of our efforts to grow bridge in the city! We regret that she now lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana and that she can only visit us intermittently. The Fort Wayne bridge club has gained a truly dedicated player and an advocate for the game. And now we welcome Hazel Connor, who has volunteered to take over this task.
