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 CLUB
BRIDGE IS FUN AND FUNNY
If you’ve ever seen the 1930 movie classic “Animal Crackers” you’ll recall the hilarious scene of the Marx Brothers playing bridge. If not you will find it on Youtube under the title, “The Marx Brothers Play Bridge”. At the SCG Bridge Club our goal is to enjoy the game of bridge, whether “social” or “duplicate”. Whatever your skill level, you can enjoy playing the game and meet friendly folks as well. Last month’s winners include (social) Trudy Morone & Fran Wrage, Helene & Jim Swan, David Brechner & Mike Giglioti and Jo Witten & Dodie Manamy; and (duplicate) Betty Moynagh, Marigail Abinanti and Clayton & Edie Parker. If you’re interested in all things bridge, check out the Fall North American Bridge Championships to be held in Phoenix Nov. 24 – Dec. 4. You can play or watch top bridge players compete. Sharpen your game at our club. Additional Games: (Club members only) Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, and Wednesdays at 6 pm. (Come at least one-half hour early to be assured of getting a table). Duplicate Games (ACBL-sanctioned): (All comers) Wednesdays and Sundays at 1:00 pm. Learn/Sharpen Your Game: For beginners/ novices: In January, classroom-style lessons for novices and beginners will begin. For more experienced players: Sharpen your game every Wednesday with lessons give at 11:30 am. Our games are played & lessons given in the Apache and Pima Rooms at the Chapparal Center.
