Winners named in the Warwick Friends of the Library Ladies Bridge Marathon

Warwick - Shirley Gordon and Mary Goodman won first place in the 2007 Warwick Friends of the Library Ladies’ Bridge Marathon. Kate Lacalamita and Carol Betley were second and Cathy Tansey and Dolores Gaspari placed third. Winners were announced and prizes awarded recently at a luncheon. The marathons emphasize fun and sociability and offer a good opportunity for players of varying expertise, including relative beginners, to play the game. 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 rubber 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. There is a $20 entry fee for each player and the proceeds are donated to the Wisner Public Library’s Friends group.
