Retirees Lunches
The MAUT Retiree Affairs Committee organizes lunches for retired academic staff throughout the听year at the McGill Faculty Club and at Tadja Hall on the Macdonald Campus as an opportunity to catch up with old friends and former colleagues in a pleasant setting and to listen to a guest speaker from the current McGill Faculty. It is also an opportunity to provide input on how the Section can be helpful to retired staff.听 Visit our photo gallery听from听past events.

McGill Retirees' Bridge Group for MAUT and MURA members and non-members
Sessions are held on alternate Tuesday afternoons at 1:00 pm in the Maude Abbott Lounge at the Faculty Club. Members are encouraged to have lunch and socialize at the Faculty Club鈥檚 elegant dining room before each session. All are welcome.
Players with a basic knowledge of bridge are invited to join and will be paired up at random. After each table completes four hands, the players move to join new partners for the next four hands. Refreshments and use of the Abbott Lounge are covered by a nominal player fee. More experienced players meet occasionally for an afternoon of team-of-four bridge.
Those interested in joining the Bridge Club should email Sylvia Sklar at sylvia.sklar [at] mcgill.ca.
