District 17 has licensed Patty Tucker’s Bridge In a Day (BIAD) program. This program is a great starting place for new or returning players. The new students start with the first three sessions. New and Returning players benefit by joining the ten lessons on bidding and play. The ten lessons advance beginners knowledge and help returning players gain confidence. The program can be offered virtually or in person. Contact Sharon Smith for more information or to find a D17 BIAD Instructor.
The District 17 Board of Directors is dedicated to the advancement of bridge, providing incentives for its educators as well as informational resources and pathways for player advancement.
Initiatives include:
- D17 Grant Program now redefined to focus on beginner education and membership building.
- The All-Western 99er NiteClub providing a safe and fun environment for players with less than 100 masterpoints.
