    Feedback From Past Tutorials
    Lydia has an alternate use for the Matchbook Post-It Note Holder: "Here's a new use for these can't live without pad holders - bridge tallies. On the inside cover, adhere a bridge tally (2 or 3 table). Keep your score on the Post-It pad, and when done with game, simply tear off to reveal clean sheet for the next game. What a money saver! A pack of bridge tallies cost $4.50 each at [the store]. This way you can play 100 games for $4.50 and simply replace pad when you run out."
