Our Tuesday evening supervised play is ongoing at Soul Sanctuary. This is a wonderful opportunity for beginning players to play for a couple of hours with supervision by more advanced players. Entry is $5, and includes a lesson, handouts, and a game. Frequently the hands will be related to the lesson so that you will have an opportunity to practice what has been presented. It’s a relaxed atmosphere where you can ask questions, have fun, and improve your play. There is no requirement to attend every Tuesday - just come whenever you can. You are welcome to come with or without a partner.

In order that we can have a 7 pm start, please arrive by 6:45 so that folks can sign in and get a name tag.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 5th!
