2025 Bridge Classes-
Kim Gilman
Bridge Lessons (on line and face-to-face) - Kim Gilman has taught 1,000’s of Bridge players using Zoom and Shark Bridge as her classroom!
In these classes students learn by actually playing, not just listening to lectures. For all the details: go to
The website
New for 2026: 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.
