A good time was had by all in attendance.   The year of free play was a big part of our fundraising......and the winner is......Cecile Ruiz!

The directors and Theresa donated their services, the restaurants donated their delicious food, & ACBL is donating all table fees.  Even the party bridge group came out to support.  Thanks to all who helped to raise money for Alzheimer's research.....especially all the players who came out to spend the Longest Day with us. For those who endured the Longest Day, they received their just rewards.  Our late night director became our late night entertainer with his hilarious rendition of Tiny Tim.

Stay tuned for the total raise.........  meanwhile, if you'd like a glimpse of some of our all day heroes, see below
