The Ruston Duplicate Bridge Club (RDBC) held a charity event on August 15 at the Presbyterian Church of Ruston to raise money for pancreatic cancer research.
The event was to honor Betty Sheeler, one of the group’s beloved members, who with tremendous grace and courage, is living with pancreatic cancer.
The RDBC event raised $4,767 from this event for the Lustgarten Foundation, which funds pancreatic cancer research.
Bridge is like going to a gym for the brain, in as much as studies have shown that playing strategic games like bridge can help keep your brain healthy.
The RDBC invites all duplicate bridge players to join us on the first, third, and fifth Thursday of every month at the Presbyterian Church of Ruston. Check-in begins at 12:30 and play begins at 1:00 pm. Card fees are $5, and you must register to play no later than the day before the game.
The RDBC is an open game, so players from other towns are also welcome. If you would like to join, please leave a message for Judith Howard at (318) 243-5146, and she will get you signed up.
This is an ACBL sanctioned game, which means master points are awarded, but most people just play for fun and fellowship. All are welcome.
