Newtown Bridge Club is planning its 8th annual Longest Day fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association this month.

Over the past seven years, the club has raised over $60,000 to support those affected by this disease and their caregivers, and to advance the research efforts of the Association.

There will be duplicate bridge games (Open, 499er and Newcomer/49er) on Tuesday, June 18, at Edmond Town Hall. The Longest Day event will begin at 9:30 am with a light breakfast fare of pastries, coffee and tea, followed by the morning games at 10 am.

A lunch break is planned at 1 pm, with the afternoon games to begin at 2 pm.

Bridge players are invited to play in either or both morning and afternoon games. Entry fees are $15 per session for each Open or 499er game and $10 for the Newcomer/49er game, which is perfect for social bridge players or any player with less than 50 masterpoints.

There will be multiple Scrabble games (tournaments and casual) also on June 18 at Edmond Town Hall. For information about the Scrabble tournaments, contact Cornelia Guest at CorneliaSGuest@gmail.com or 914-772-6535.

Any bridge or Scrabble player who brings in at least $100 in donations to the Alzheimer’s Association will play free all day. Information on how to donate, including secure online donations, can be found at newtownbridge.org. Contact Linda Dale Mulholland at lindadalem@gmail.com for more information about the bridge games.

Newtown Bridge Club holds three ACBL-sanctioned duplicate bridge games every week at Edmond Town Hall: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 12:30 pm. In addition, bridge lessons are offered on a regular basis for players of all levels.
