Fort Wayne Longest Day Raises $20,000+

LD Committee

LD Committee, L to R: Amy Kelly, Eddie Bower, Barb Gasser, Bob Gasser & Judy Nelsen—LD Chair

For the past eight years the Fort Wayne club has raised funds for the Alzheimer’s Association’s research and free service programs through its annual Longest Day event. This year’s June 22 event with special bridge games, a raffle, and a silent auction, plus donations from players and foundations, raised $20,897. This amount places Fort Wayne 9th among the 163 ACBL clubs participating in 2022.

"THE WALL"

During 2010, the above pictured WALL was added to the South Bend club.  The idea to create a celebrity wall came from John Killeen, the wall was built by Tom Hebron, and all the artwork was created by Jo Ann Steigmeyer.

Each year, on this wall, were the names and pictures of life master honorees who had reached a new plateau, Mini McKenney and Ace of Clubs winners, top players in A, B and C categories, a list of the people we had lost in the past year, a list of the Life Masters, and “thank you's” to the Board of Club Directors, Board of Game Directors, and everyone who contributed to the club during that year.

The latest wall covers 2020 & 2021 due to the pandemic.  We welcome your visit to our club to play and to "Walk the Wall."
