I began playing bridge when I was 7. My father was impatient becasue he neeed a 4th to join my two older brothers and spare my mother the pain of playing with us. I have been playing in NYC since 1995. I am currently honored to be president of the Greater New York Bridge Association

There are a few committed volunteers that work with individual schools or groups. These efforts are relatively small in scale and are not coordinated. The Greater New York Bridge Association (GNYBA) as part of its mission is interested in promoting youth bridge as much as possible. We help fund some programs and we respond to inquiries, but we haven't really been proactive in reaching out to the schools.
I am hoping that there is someone out there who has the ability. time and "calling" to coordinate a proactive youth education program in the city. If you know someone who might want to do this, please let me know.
Thanks
David Moss
GNYBA
