We were honored to have Larry Cohen join us for a captivating presentation on defense in bridge. His insights, clarity, and engaging style brought fresh energy to our game and deepened our appreciation for the art of defending. Here are some moments from the event.

New for 2025: FFBC Library of Bridge Books ...A Lending Library of Bridge Books – these are books that were donated by bridge players and their families.

Players follow 3 steps: Step 1- Find a book you are interested in, Step 2- Take the book home and read it, Step 3- Return the book to the library and start again at Step 1.

This is our way of recycling these wonderful resources. My many thanks to everyone who participates in this program.
