The 15th Annual Scholarship fundraiser will be held at Culver’s at 1275 SE Oldham Parkway on Tuesday June 24, 2025, from 5 to 8 p.m. 10% of all sales are donated to scholarship funds held with Truman Heartland Community Foundation. The first fund is the Eugene J. Rolfe Memorial Scholarship Fund, providing $1500 renewable scholarships to Engineering students. The next fund is the Rolfe Bridge Fund. This fund provides $500 renewable scholarships to Kathy’s students who have at least 1 masterpoint upon graduating from high school and who continue to add to the masterpoint holding while in college. The Bridge Fund also provides scholarships to students winning at the local Unit 131 Spring or Fall Tournament when a student section is offered. You can read about these scholarships on this website or read and apply for them via the Truman Heartland Community Foundation.
We raised almost $500 with the Culver’s donation and private donations at the event last year.
Here’s a few pictures from last year! A lot of former, current and future bridge students and players here!

What is Kids Bridge? NEXT DATE: Saturday June 7, 2025!
I give the younger students a place to play bridge with others who are just starting out as well. All the players have completed at least a beginning set of lessons. The purpose is to give them the opportunity to practice and to speed up their play. It is free!You just need to sign up ahead of time. Parents are welcome to stay and watch! Call 816-237-0519 or e-mail to sign up and get directions. This is usually held in my home, unless the numbers signing up require a larger space. Next Kids Bridge Sat. June 7, 2 to 4 p.m. After building up speed, for those who are comfortable with the idea, we plan to go play at some of the Duplicate Bridge Clubs in the area.
SUMMER 2025 LESSONS
2025 Dates:
May 30, June 6,13,27; July 11,18; Aug. 8, 15
Mo-Kan Bridge Academy is offering youth lessons and supervised play on Friday Mornings in conjunction with their duplicate game. They will offer a 45 minute lesson from 9:30 to 10:15, snack break until 10:30, and then continuing lesson/supervised play until noon. Any students the teacher deems ready for duplicate play may play in the duplicate game from 10:30 until about 1 for no additional charge if they wish, instead of playing in the supervised play until noon. Cost is $5 per student ages 8 and up! Adults are welcome to join the lessons for the same $5 as long as they bring a youth to learn too! Any adults switching to the duplicate game will need to pay an additional $3. This essentially gives the adults the lesson for free if they wish to play in the duplicate game. Sign up ahead of time is required. No need to attend every session. Mo-Kan will provide instruction at your skill level! Absolute beginners welcome. See the 2025 summer flyer or check out the Mo-Kan Bridge Academy website.
Here are some pictures from 2024 taken during the duplicate game.
Here’s some pictures taken at our last class of 2023.
