Any bridge club will have programs for newbies; I hear that EZ-bridge is an especially good teaching tool. Just do a search for bridge clubs in the boston area; it's really good fun once you get the feel for it.
Teaching friends to play bridge is a daunting task. I'd pretty much give them four or five books about bidding and say "come back when you've read these." I learned in high school by reading some of my dad's bridge bidding books.
Oh, and my whistles go Woooo Wooooo.
