CLUB CONNECTIONS ARMED FORCES SUPPORT GROUP
You do not have to be a Veteran to belong to the AFSG, although many of our members are Veterans. You only need to have a desire to say “Thank You” to our active and Veteran military families and wish to continue to help many of them on their journey of healing. The AFSG has been very successful raising and donating money to vetted 501c 3 Veteran support foundations. Three of these foundations are within the state of AZ – Honor Flight AZ, Soldiers Best Friend, Foundation for Service Dog Support, and one national organization, Feherty’s Troop First Foundation. We would like you to join us in our mission of supporting those who have served, do serve and continue to serve and sacrifice so much to give us our freedom.

DANCE CLUB
BRIDGE CLUB
DANCE CLUB LESSONS
There is always an eventual winner in bridge but for most players it is the social aspect of the game and particularly the partnership dynamics that gives bridge its main appeal. The club is now open with limited social games: Monday afternoon, Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon. Duplicate games are now open on Sunday and Wednesday starting at 1PM. All players, social, duplicate and their guest must have a signed COVID 19 Waiver on file. Please visit the bridge club website at www.scgbridgeclub. com for additional information and updates. Resumption for all scheduled Bridge games (social and duplicate) will resume starting in October.

You can also learn new techniques in all types of high fire and low fire glazing. Register on-line for one of the classes. We are thrilled to welcome the new, professional grade, Bailey Slab Roller for use by our members. It could not be easier to roll out a slab of clay! An instructional video is on-line for review before using this one pass through slab roller. Our participation at The Market At Grand was a sell out! Once again were able to introduce the community to the many talents of our artists who work in clay. If you missed it, be sure to visit our Gallery On-Line. New artists and new works are always being added. Need a bag of clay, a new rib, or want a specific tool? It very well might be in stock in our Clay Supply Cabinet or we can order it for you.
