Winners named in library's latest bridge marathon

Warwick -Shirley Gordon and Jan Evans were first-prize winners in the Warwick Friends of Library Bridge Marathon II in the recently completed round of play. Second prize was awarded to Nancy Shapiro and Carol Betley; Mary Goodman and Bonnie Kunert finished third. The Friends sponsors day and evening marathons for women as well as a couples’ marathon. Entrants follow a schedule which tells them who they will play each month and who will host the match at their home. The time for the match, which consists of 20 hands of bridge, is set at the convenience of the four people involved in that match. There are usually seven matches in a round played over a year’s time. The marathons emphasize fun and sociability. There is a $20 entry fee for each player and the proceeds are donated to the Wisner Public Library’s Friends group. For information or to join a marathon, call Alice Boyle at 986-9839.
