Bridgelady Mentor Program:
This program pairs Mentors with Mentees
for a series of 4 monthly sessions. Mentors are Life
Masters. Mentees are non-Life Masters.
All interested players are invited to
submit applications. The Bridgelady will make the
pair assignments.
This is a
great opportunity for Mentors to give back to the game and
to meet new
players.
Mentees
will be made to feel more comfortable with playing up
and will improve their knowledge of the game and bridge
etiquette. Discussion of each hand will follow play. |
When:
The 4 sessions will be held at 11:00 A.M. on April 17,
May 1, June 5 and July 3, 2007.
|
Where:
Wilkes-Barre invitational
|
What:
This is mentored play. Dutch treat lunch; reservation required. |
|
|
How it works
At the first meeting with your mentor, you will
review your strengths and weaknesses and establish your
program participation priorities; these may change as time goes
on.
 |
At
the end of each session, participants will be
asked to contribute items to be added to the "Lessons
Learned Notepad".
|
|
|
After the first 2 sessions,
you will have the opportunity to discuss your
accomplishments and remaining goals with your assigned
Mentor. |
|
|
At the end of
the 4 sessions, we will evaluate everyone's reactions to
the program and decide whether to continue with
additional series of sessions.

Unassigned Mentees
Even if you
are not assigned a "personal" mentor because there are
not enough mentors to go around, you may be selected as
an "unassigned" mentee to play only at tables at which a
Mentor is present. Mentors will mentor not only their
assigned partners, but also the opposing pair at the
table.
Your
interest and commitment will be rewarded!
