A weekly opportunity for newer or returning bridge players to hone their bridge skills.

Just like Bridge at your house. Bring a friend and practice.
Funded by Unit 116, mentors are available to non-Life Masters who are interested in improving their game. Mentees must commit to playing five duplicate games with their mentors, who in turn will share their knowledge of bridge, providing feedback in real time. Both players pay their own entry fees and the Unit reimburses the mentor after the five sessions. If interested in either becoming a mentor or mentee, please call the club at 716-424-0014 or Email BuffaloBridgeCenter@gmail.com
