Welcome to the 2011 Mentor/Mentee Program!
Opening night is Thursday,
May 26th. We will be having a
potluck dinner starting at 6:30pm with Bridge beginning around 7:15. Mentees are asked to bring a food dish
(picnic type item, appetizer, dessert, etc.) to share with everyone as a thank
you to all of the Mentors who are donating their time and talents. CBA will provide soft drinks, beer and wine.
Even if you and your
Mentor/Mentee are unable to play together on May 26th, we still
encourage everyone enrolled in the program to come out and enjoy the
festivities. If you are in need of a
partner for the evening, contact any member of the Mentor/Mentee committee, and
we’ll try and hook you up.
The following are
guidelines to help you make the most of opportunities offered by the program:

None of the above games
are mandatory, but are usually fun, educational and enjoyable.
Responsibilities of the
Mentee:
Contact your mentor to
arrange dates for playing Bridge. Do
this as soon as possible. Do not wait
until the last minute.
Tell your mentor what you
would like to work on to improve your play.
Ask your mentor for input/suggestions.
Be willing to negotiate/compromise.
Responsibilities of the
Mentor:
Be kind and patient with
your mentee. Usually mentees are newer
players and are looking to you for guidance in learning.
The “extent” of your
mentoring is up to you. Be willing to
share what you know and direct the mentee to any other resources he/she might
find helpful. CBA has a great library available!
