Fundraiser at Culver’s!

The 12th Annual Scholarship fundraiser was held at Culver’s at 1275 SE Oldham Parkway on Monday Aug. 8. 10% of all sales were 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 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.  Thanks so much for coming out, even if I didn’t get you on camera!

Here’s a few pictures!

Mo-Kan Bridge Academy

GAME RESULTS:  Next game April 14, 2023.  Sign up for future Friday games by 5 p.m. on the day before.   

This is an 18 board game, beginning at 10:30 and done around 1 p.m.  On the 3rd Friday of each month we try to go out as a group to a local restaurant after the game.  Games will cancel if at least 12 people have not pre-registered.  Vaccinations recommended,  masks requested if not vaccianted. 

See all game results here.

Mo-Kan Bridge is just getting started.   Their first duplicate game is offered at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Lee’s Summit on Fridays, from 10:30 to 1.  There will be a variety of directors directing this game, but I will be the director for many of the games.  There will be both a novice section (for those with less than 50 masterpoints) and an open section, provided there are at least 3 tables per section.  If both sections cannot be run, then one combined open section with stratification will be played instead. Partners are guaranteed if you can’t find your own on any given day.  (This might mean you play with the director, in which case you would be playing in the open section.)

Cost is $8 or less.  Please check out the Mo-Kan Bridge Academy website for details on costs and this game.
