If attendance permits, there will be two sections of play, Open & 0-500 averaged points.
- The East Texas Tournament of Stars, April 8-14, is an ACBL Regional Tournament in Longview, Texas. This is your opportunity to win gold and red points right here in East Texas.
- You can help support the tournament in many ways including: 1) Help to set up on Sun., 4/7, at 1 p.m. Don't think you can't help because of all the "heavy" work. We need people to help open bidding boxes, decorate the partnership & registration tables, put trash bags on card tables, etc. 2) Play as many sessions as possible and invite your bridge friends to join the fun. 3)Volunteer to help you club on their "Day" by working at the partnership or registration desk and bringing "non-perishable" food.
