The unit, and in particular Gerry Collier, Hetty Kallman, and Jim Lynch have done a great job introducing new players to the game with the Wednesday game and the Mentor program. It's great to see new players at the game. There is also a new 99er game on Sunday afternoons directed by Jean Jolin. There is a lesson at 4:30 pm followed by a game at 5 pm.
