Cribbage Club

Sixty-two members of Cribbage Club, including four new members, turned out for the semi-annual meeting last Tuesday. Everyone enjoyed an Arby’s sandwich and chips before play began. Terry Thrift made the arrangements for the meal. Hostesses for the day were Margaret Smith, Candy Meyers and Carrie Kistner. A special welcome went to Howard Bleakley, a longtime member, returning for the first time after a long absence.

During a brief meeting, statistics from the last year were presented by the president, Terry Thrift, along with a financial report given by Julie Milburn.

Hoppy Hopkins won all seven games and earned his second star with a perfect score of 847. Tied for second place were Linda Evenson, Dave LaCascia and Sandra deDubovay with 835. Third place went to Lyn Doyle with 829 while Helen Elich took fourth place with 826. Winning six out of seven games but out of the prize money were Jim Kaspar, Candy Meyers and Cleo Looney.

Games of cribbage are played each Tuesday in Clubhouse 1 beginning at 12:30 p.m. and ending by 4 p.m. Refreshments to celebrate birthdays or other special occasions are donated by members and served at noon.
