Meet Susan Hanna, our Mentor Mentee Program Manager!

Susan is a student of Dave Glandorf and began playing bridge just before the Covid pandemic which closed our club.  She and husband Mike got back to the club as soon as we reopened and they have been going strong ever since! Susan has been a Mentee in our program and knows first-hand the value to newer players who have a Mentor to help the development of their game.  

Do you have a few spare minutes each month to assist Susan?  

Managing the Mentor Program requires a lot of worK:

• Managing Partnerships (are you a natural Match Maker?)
• Tracking RESERVATIONS
• Creating GAME-DAY stratification spreadsheets for the Partnerships
• Overseeing the Reservation SIGN UP sheet at the Club.
• Luncheon for one of our most popular games...no small feat!

PLEASE LET SUSAN KNOW IF YOU CAN ASSIST IN ANY OF THESE AREAS
