Welcome to my website!
Here is a clearinghouse of information on Leslie Shafer and Charlie Williams' bridge teaching activities.
If you have any questions that you don't see addressed on this website, please let me know.
The best 10 years of my life started when I began to teach bridge full time, meeting all of you and making
so many new friends. What a blessing it is to be able to love your job. Not only is bridge a wonderful sport,
but we have found that for many students, it has enriched their own personal social contacts.
Our mission statement is to spread the love of bridge to everyone.
On this site, you will find a list of both current and upcoming classes in the Montgomery
County (Maryland) area. You will also find my classroom policies, humor, the best internet
bridge sites and so much more. I hope you enjoy what I have included here in the website for you.

SNOW ALERT - UPDATE !!
We follow the Mont. Co. Public School closings during inclement weather. MCPS has cancelled their classes for Tuesday,
and now Wed., Thurs & Friday are closed as well.
No bridge classes are being run this entire week:
February 9 - 12 at all sites.
Stay warm, safe and invite neighbors over for bridge!!
Tip of the Month From Leslie
While being a bridge bum on vacation in Florida (YEAH!!!!) I thought I'd send you this link to read some of the funniest
bridge stories and articles you'll ever find. My fellow teacher and friend, Marti Ronemus (runs a bridge club in York,
PA) wrote a series of articles that ran in the San Diego NABC Daily Bulletin. (I ran a similar series during the DC
NABC this past summer.) Here is the link to the web page where I found her articles. It is the SAN DIEGO portion
of the page. Click on the "Daily bulletin" link and her articles usually appear on page 2 or 3; click on Day 1 and the
last one is on Day 10. Absolutely hysterical bridge reading!! Enjoy
An abbreviated winter schedule has now been posted on this website for February
and March of 2010. Registration has started for these classes. Pre-registration fee is $125; If you wait to pay
at the first class it is $150. Almost all of the classes are at the UMC site in Potomac (Charlie will have one class
at the JCC's in Rockville.) All class descriptions describe how to register.
Snow Policy: If Mont. Co. Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather
only, then we are closed. If they are opening 2 hours late, we're starting on time.
Watch this video!
Harlem schools adopt after-school bridge program.
Thanks to fellow bridge teacher Chris Hasney for forwarding the link to me. This video is so heartening to watch!

Want Charlie and Leslie's advice about a hand
you played recently at home with your friends?
Print out a hand record and fill it out completely (with filled in cards, auction, opening lead, etc.) and either send
to us via email or bring the print out to one of our classes. We are very interested in your problem hands (and we all have them).
Double click on the next line to print out your blank hand record form to record your problem hand!!
