This study group is for people who already know how to play bridge. Join us if you would like to meet other ICL members who play and want to have more opportunities to play the game. We welcome those who have recently learned the game as well as intermediate and advanced players. We will be playing for FUN, not cutthroat! Hopefully we can all learn from one another.

NOTE: This is an ongoing study group, but new participants are always welcome.

This 2022 British true crime documentary tells the story of an Israeli conman who uses the dating app Tinder to contact women; he then tricks them into lending him money that – surprise, surprise -  he never repays. After charming them with lavish gifts and dinners on private jets, he later pretends that he has been attacked by one of  his “enemies,” but his bodyguard saved him and was hurt. His victims take out bank loans and new credit cards to help him, after which he breaks off contact. It is estimated that this Ponzi scheme enabled him to swindle $10 million from women across the world.

Coordinators: Mike and Marilyn Glass

What happens when we peel an onion? Most cry, and then enjoy it in many different ways. The same is true of your family tree. Every person and branch we add is like peeling another layer of an onion revealing more about our ancestries. The purpose of this study group is to introduce people to some basic tools and concepts to build a family tree. The first two sessions will cover Ancestry and Family Tree Maker. They will center upon the traditional resources with only a brief discussion of DNA. In the third session, attendees can ask questions, talk about their brick walls, and present their own family trees.
