Free bridge lessons: club will teach how to play the hand

Leisure World Duplicate Bridge Club is offering free lessons on Friday mornings in Clubhouse 1 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. beginning Nov. 11. Larry Slutsky and Rob Preece will teach the follow-up to the Basic Bridge class. The lessons will last eight to 10 weeks.

The lessons are open to everyone who attended the Basic Bridge lessons and anyone who has played bridge in the past and would like to update their game.

Residents are encouraged to invite their neighbors and friends to participate.

The focus of the class will be on basic techniques to plan and make the contract—such as finesses, promotion, ruffing losers, etc.

For more information and/or to sign up for the lessons, contact Larry Slutsky at (562) 253-7119 or email larryslutsky@gmail.com or Linda Nye at (562) 453-6678 or email yeulingnye@yahoo.com.
