After a 15-month hiatus, duplicate bridge will resume inperson play beginning on June 18 at noon in Clubhouse 1. GRF has required that Leisure World Duplicate Bridge Club and Burning Tree Duplicate Bridge Club merge into one; it has allowed the combined club to play two games a week, on Monday and Friday afternoons.

Players must make reservations and are urged to do so as soon as possible for the June 18 game. Contact Sharon Beran at (562) 3087838 or hbsharonb@gmail.com. Players should arrive by 11:30 a.m. on the day of their reservations.

Masks are required to enter the clubhouse. Players’ temperatures will be taken using a no-touch tester at the sign-in table.

Game fees are $4 for Leisure World residents and $5 for invited quests. The director on Mondays will be Mike Ullman, and on Fridays, it will be Emma Trepinski.

No refreshments will be provided for the first few weeks; however, players may bring their own snacks or beverages. Sharing is not currently allowed.

The GRF Board has clarified the ruling that clubs cannot compel members to have been vaccinated in order to play.
