Can you get a good deal for your club and support youth bridge at the same time? Yes you can!

Cynthia's sample cardsIf you are anything like the Taupo Bridge Club, you will be frequently sending out get-well cards, sympathy cards, and the odd special birthday or thank you card as well. So rather than buying commercial greeting cards, Taupo buys a selection of lovely handmade cards from Cynthia Clayton so they always have greeting cards on hand when needed, while at the same time are supporting youth bridge.

Cynthia is a silver grand-master and member of the Hamilton Bridge Club, and her not-so-hidden talent is card-making. She makes beautiful cards for $5 each, ($6 if you want them personalised), and all proceeds go to the New Zealand Bridge Foundation’s Youth fund.

You may have seen the cards at National Congress, but if you don’t want to wait until September you can find them at Cynthia’s pop-up stall at occasional tournaments around the region. Or contact Cynthia directly on cynclayton@gmail.com – she can email you samples to choose from.

You can buy cards for your bridge club, or buy them for yourself. Whichever way, this is a win-win arrangement for bridge – let’s see how much Waikato Bays can raise for youth bridge this way!
