The Longest Day was celebrated on June 17 at Westminster Church in Cedar Rapids. It was an amazing day!

We had 25 tables of bridge, party bridge in the morning and three duplicate games during the afternoon and evening. Breakfast and lunch were free. Breakfast was provided by the Klien’s and a partial donation of Panera’s and Dick and Charlene Boardman with a giant cinnamon roll from The Bakery on J Street. Lunch was provided by the Boardman’s with Subway sandwiches.

To go with the lunch we had a speaker from Alzheimer’s who gave us information and answered questions. It was very informative.

There was a raffle to give away two gift packages, over $150 each. The winners were Pat Boe from Cedar Falls and Paul Klein. 

We are grateful to all who participated. We had generous donations and sold lots of raffle tickets. The duplicate games were $8 each, but the Boardman’s donated $7 of the $8 to Alzheimer’s. The event raised over $2000 for a great cause.

Thank you to everyone who donated, helped and played. What a great thing to accomplish through the game of bridge!
