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.

BRIDGE
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 Sun City Grand Bridge Club offers 3 ACBL sanctioned duplicate games and 5 social games. All skill levels are welcome. Whatever form of bridge you play, social or duplicate, bridge is stimulating for the brain and highly addictive. Please visit the bridge club website at www.scgbridgeclub.com for game starting times, updates and other additional information.
