A local Atalanta player, Patty Tucker, created a series of bridge camps this summer to teach Atlanta area kids the game.  It’s be an incredible success, including getting over 30 kids to come out and play at the regional event here last week over Labor Day weekend.
There was an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about her efforts, which can be found here.  She started “Atlanta Junior Bridge, Inc.”, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting bridge to Georgia’s youth.
For more information about the organization, please visit their website at   altantajuniorbridge.com

The WYTCs are now over.  USA1 had a big lead going into the final segment of the event, 100 IMPS.  This is good, since Italy put on a massive rally in the final segment, winning that segment 82 to 1.  However, USA1 was still victorious.
