Unit 128 Education Bulletin Board

1) Unit 128 is officially out of the book-selling business; we recommend you contact either ACBL at www.acbl.org or 800 264-2743 (option 1) or our own Rahn Smith at bridgebooks@verizon.net or 813 205-2303

2) The Unit 128 Education Foundation will continue to give financial support for member-owned clubs that offer four free bridge lessons followed by a paid series, for classes held through March 31, 2006, see below; after that time, the Education Foundation expects to be changing its focus. Any suggestions or requests should be directed to Phyllis Ranagan, Education Liaison, at pranagan@earthlink.net. Efforts geared to young people are especially welcome.
 

Expires March 31, 2006

Member-owned clubs are encouraged to offer four free bridge lessons to attract potential new players. Please let us know about your plans ahead of time (see addresses and phone below.)

The Unit 128 Education Foundation will offer the following support:

1. Reimbursement for advertising expenses and printed materials for student distribution, up to $500 for your first series of free lessons, but not to overlap with any advertising moneys you receive from the ACBL; for these reimbursements, you will be required to submit to us copies of your paid bills and copies of advertisements and materials (radio spots should be documented, please.)

2. Reimbursement for teachers -- $50 per lesson for up to 12 students; $75 per lesson for up to 24 students; $100 per lesson for over 24 students (either for one or two teachers, your choice); for these reimbursements, you will be required to submit to us a list of students who attend for each class; we look forward to tracking how many of these students eventually join the ACBL (and we also look forward to hearing how many join your OWN club.)

We expect you'll plan to follow the four free lessons with four low-cost lessons. If you have any questions, please call or write to:
