With a high population of residents in their golden years, it’s fortunate Mesquite is now being serviced by a Southern Utah non-profit group, Memory Matters.

Under the direction of David Moore, who was instrumental in bringing the Relay for Life cancer fundraiser to Mesquite, Memory Matters is an organization that reduces isolation and improves wellness for older individuals with dementia and their caretakers.

Find out more information on dementia and other memory related disorders at the Mesquite Library today at 2 p.m.

“It’s a service that is needed by many families in Mesquite and the surrounding areas,” said Moore. “We want to help them in ways that other organizations can’t.”

Currently, the only American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) sanctioned Duplicate Bridge Game in Mesquite has been held on Fridays at 11 am at the First Baptist Church.  Beginning on Monday, Jan. 6, however, a second choice will be available to avid duplicate bridge players.  The new game will be directed by Earl Peterson every Monday at 11 am at the First Baptist Church, 700 Hardy Way, Mesquite.  Bridge players can earn points toward various Life Master designations, which are awarded only in ACBL-sanctioned games across the country. St. George has ACBL-sanctioned games at least six days a week.  Many of their residents play multiple times a week to earn points when they win or rank highly in games.  Now Mesquite residents and visitors of Mesquite who enjoy the challenge of the game will have two choices each week: Monday at 11 am and Friday at 11 am.

Players need only show up about a half hour before the game begins, with or without a partner.  They will be paired with another player if they have no partner.   Any questions may be directed to 702.346.7991.

Remember to send in those event notices, things are going to be happening that you’ll want folks to know about. Send them to terin.bbm@gmail.com so you can everyone know what’s happening with your group or club.
