Each class begins with an oral lesson followed by play of the hand. Students should plan on bringing a three ring binder to the first class, as all classes are taught via handouts.
Joan Bergen will be the instructor. Joan Bergen is a longtime local resident and Bridge Life Master who, after studying bridge intently for eight years, is driven to teach others.
Students will benefit from her enthusiasm and love for the game that she describes as both a great way to meet people, and a wonderful activity to keep the mind sharp.
Bridge 3 will be held on six Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 8, 15, 22 (not Jan. 29) and Feb. 5, 12, 19.
Course fees are $210, or $180 for DCA members. Prepayment required by noon on Friday, Jan. 4. Minimum and maximum enrollment applies.
Registration is available online at the DCA website or by contacting the DCA directly at info@dariendca.org or 203-655-9050 extension 10.
Classes are held at the DCA at 274 Middlesex Road in Darien.
