Bunco!

by

The February meeting site was changed to Ginger Grossetete’s house, where twelve members played Bunco, many for the first time. Members brought food and refreshments to Ginger’s home and we learned more or less how to play Bunco.  We need to play more!!!  A special thanks to Ginger for opening up her lovely house at the last minute when our scheduled hostess, Lori, became ill. February was our month to network amongst us and we did!  A good time was had by all and we look forward to learning more about the game. Lots of laughter was had and we got acquainted with 2 of our new members:  Carolyn Rigirozzi and Sue Slankard.
