PROMOTE BRIDGE IN YOUR DOC's WAITING ROOM
=========================================
The next time you visit a business that has a waiting room --
doctor, dentist, auto mechanic, etc. -- bring along an old ACBL
Bridge Bulletin and ask if you can leave the magazine there for
others to browse. Please help yourself to the copies we have at the
club, stacked on the back table near the convention cards. Each
magazine has a sticker on the cover with information about the club.
