Last month's Euchre competition held true to form in that there was another first-time winner. Some new people showed up and the snacks people bring keep improving. Just because you haven't participated yet does not mean you can't join in now. Partners are provided. This event is open to all. Euchre/Game Night is a monthly activity and it appears that we have settled on Saturdays as the best day. A suggestion was made to try and hold this event on a specific schedule so starting in April, Game Night will be held on the 2nd Saturday of each month unless otherwise indicated.
