| Our Calcutta is a stratified pair game with masterpoints and cash prizes awarded for three strata. Before the game, pairs are auctioned. The Calcutta creates additional excitement by awarding cash prizes and the opportunity to support an important charity. Auction proceeds are pooled and paid to the winning bidder. Twenty percent of the auction proceeds are dedicated to the charity, Camp Incredible. Pat Riordan and Phebe Packer, our auctioneers are certain to make the auction exciting and fun! | |||

This Calcutta is limited to 28 tables/56 pairs. More than half of
your entry fee benefits
Camp Incredible.
The club will retain only sanction fees and expenses. The auction
begins at 11:00 with food and refreshments provided by the club. A
list of entered pairs and auction instructions will be available at
the club. Sign up now at
