Join Fred Theurkauf, bridge superstar Jerry
Helms, plus alumni and friends in pine, fir, and
aspen forests just south of Glacier National Park
at elegant and rustic Flathead Lake Lodge. This
meticulously kept ranch - resort - conference center is
one of the best kept secrets in Montana’s Big Sky
country. Often the retreat of U.S. State Department
distinguished visitors and military dignitaries from
around the world, the Flathead Lake Lodge
management has found an ideal date for our 2015 “Just
Relax” Week. With its unique location, nestled in a
secluded bay on the shores of Flathead Lake, the Lodge
combines a western atmosphere with the elegance of a
manicured mountain retreat at a mere 3000 feet. You’ll
wake to pristine fresh air and a short walk to breakfast
and retire to brilliant star-studded skies. Whether
you’re sitting near the giant fireplace in the Main
Lodge, or chatting with friends over a cocktail in the
Lodge’s Saloon reserved just for us, Flathead Lake
Lodge is the perfect setting for our “Just Relax”
Week. With great dining, cocktails lakeside, bridge
activities galore, you are sure to enjoy Finesse West

Jerry Helms is a nationally-known tournament bridge
player, lecturer & writer, whose dynamic teaching style
makes him a guru of bridge lecturing. When the ACBL
established its teacher accreditation program (TAP) in
1987, Jerry was asked to be the trainer. During his long
tenure, he has certified over 2,000 bridge teachers.
Since 1994 he has served annually as an expert panelist
for the American Bridge Teachers Association. Mr. Helms
is published monthly in his ACBL Bulletin Magazine
column, “Ask Jerry.”
As a talented player, Jerry has placed on the ACBL "Top
500" list for 28 consecutive years! His 20,000+
masterpoints include over 300 regional wins and nine top-
five finishes in National Events.
But make no mistake, Jerry is a teacher first & foremost.
His seminars are personally designed & presented with a
mix of humor and a relaxed, easy-to-understand style.
His unique, hands-on method combines interactive lectures
with the play of pre-duplicated lesson hands. Seminar

booklets. We are thrilled to have Mr. Helms with us for
five days in Montana
