Locally, money was raised from bids for 22 premier bridge players at the
Connection who volunteered to be partners to the highest bidder. In addition, funds
were raised with a raffle for gift certificates and prizes from local businesses. A silent
auction of older and out-of-print bridge books also took place.
Leading the efforts for the 2017 event are Connection owners Grant Petersen
and Mike McDonald, with volunteer committee members Ron Horwitz and Marilyn
Nathanson, both of Farmington Hills. •

The Southfield Bridge Connection surpassed its goal of raising $6,000 this year by
raising $10,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association on June 21.
This is the second year the Connection participated in this event sponsored by
the national organization, the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), whose
goal is to raise $750,000 for Alzheimer’s research from bridge cubs across the
country and Canada. At the Bridge Connection, more than 51 tables played,
compared to 42 tables last year.
