Silvana was recognized and awarded the ACBL Nadine Wood award, received the Lifetime Achievement in Bridge Gordon Duffy Award and was recently crowned "The Godmother of Online Bridge" by her peers for her dedication to keeping bridge alive in the clouds. She created all of the tutorials to teach players how to play online, she invited onto the national task force focusing on the future of bridge and was appointed the chairperson of the task force's sub-committee for teaching and membership on behalf of the bridge league.
Rich, formally the Senior Vice-President of of Hollywood Video and later, returning to his roots in hospitality, the Chief Operating Officer for one of New York's most prominent and successful restaurateur, he decided to join his wife full-time and dedicate his time to all things bridge. He regularly teaches private groups, tutoring them in an interactive setting with the goal of improving their bridge knowledge. At the physical club, Rich was in charge of Newplicate, a program dedicated to teaching and supporting beginners in learning with classes, supervised playing sessions and review sessions 4 days a week.
