Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO FOSTER, ENCOURAGE, AND PROMOTE THE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY OF DUPLICATE BRIDGE, AND TO ORGANIZE, CONDUCT AND SUPPORT BRIDGE MATCHES, TOURNAMENTS, AND OTHER BRIDGE ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE PIEDMONT AREA OF CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
THE ASSOCIATION SPONSORS FIVE SANCTIONED GAMES EACH WEEK, THUS FOSTERING THE SOCIAL, RECREATIONAL AND MENTALLY CHALLENGING ASPECTS OF DUPLICATE BRIDGE FOR LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS. IN ORDER FOR A GAME TO BE SANCTIONED BY THE AMERICAN CONTRACT BRIDGE LEAGUE, A GAME SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF THREE TABLES OF FOUR CONTESTANTS. OUR SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF TABLES IN PLAY PER GAME, AND TOTAL NUMBER OF TABLES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. OUR ASSOCIATION HAS GROWN FROM PLAYING A TOTAL OF 740 TABLES IN YEAR 2006 TO 2,211 TABLES IN YEAR 2017 FOR APPROXIMATELY 8,844 PLAYERS. A PRIMARY GOAL OF THE ASSOCIATION IS TO INCREASE ATTENDANCE AND ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME BY PROVIDING THE MOST MODERN EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR PLAYERS, AND EVENTUALLY OWNING A DEDICATED FACILITY WHERE DAILY GAMES AND CLASSES CAN BE OFFERED FOR OUR MEMBERS.
THE ASSOCIATION PROMOTES EDUCATING THE PUBLIC, REGARDLESS OF AGE, RACE, RELIGION, OR PHYSICAL ABILITIES, TO PLAY THE GAME OF DUPLICATE BRIDGE BY FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING AND TEACHING CLASSES AT CONVENIENT TIMES IN OUR LOCAL AREA. OVER THE PAST TWELVE YEARS, OUR ASSOCIATION HAS HAD A SERIES OF SIXTEEN CLASSES FOR JUST OVER FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN NEWCOMERS TO THE GAME. THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAD ANOTHER CLASS (IN CONJUNCTION WITH OLLI) FOR THIRTY-TWO NEWCOMERS THROUGH OUR NATIONAL AMERICAN CONTRACT BRIDGE LEAGUE. OUR ASSOCIATION COORDINATES WITH THE ACBL IN SPONSORING TOURNAMENTS, SO THAT LOCAL BRIDGE PLAYERS CAN MEET AND COMPETE WITH OTHER BRIDGE PLAYERS ON A REGIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL.
THE ASSOCIATION ORGANIZES GAMES TO BENEFIT LOCAL CHARITIES BY GIVING MONETARY DONATIONS AND SUPPLIES, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, SOLICITING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OUR MEMBERS. THIS PAST YEAR, WE WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN HAVING OUR MEMBERS TO DONATE 19,120 WHILE ATTENDING OUR CHARITY GAMES, WHICH BENEFITED ALZHEIMER'S, HOSPICE OF THE PIEDMONT, AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY.
