Club News

The Longview DBC held a special "send off" party for Ethan Collins as he leaves for Washington, D.C. New to bridge, Ethan and his mentor, Susan Doty, started playing in Longview in June. As his bridge knowledge grew, so did his friendships with local players. Good luck to Ethan in all his life pursuits! And come back and see us often!
