This event is being held with support from ACBL and the ACBL Educational Foundation. Thanks are also in order to Lee Goodman and David Rhea for allowing us to have the workshop when a game would normally be scheduled at the Studio. We also appreciate the directors at the studio being willing to take ticket orders from those who do not want to purchase online.

A sneak peek! Here is the table of contents for the workbook you’ll get.

I think this gives you a feel for his sense of humor, hopefully showing how much you’ll enjoy the day!

Mo-Kan at the Trolley Run in 2025!

Sunday April 27, 2025

Mo-Kan Bridge Academy will have a booth at the Trolley Run after party on April 27, 2025! If you’re a bridge player come on by and sit in on a few deals to show others how easy this game can be! Let’s show everyone that this is a game for everyone. The Trolley Run supports the Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI). Join the run to raise funds and then stop by and play! Or if you can’t do the run, just stop by and play bridge for a bit!

We were there and had fun introducing the game to a couple of youngsters!
