Scrabble (and perhaps other games) is Thursday, March 12 at Peggy O'Donnell's house. Come at noon for a potluck lunch and at 1:00 pm for Scrabble and perhaps other games. Please RSVP to Debbie Ward (debbieward222@gmail.com) so we can have enough Scrabble boards. Also, let her know if you'd like to play a different game and what game that would be. This is part of our new plan to play on the second Thursday of the month and to offer an option of table games other than Scrabble. Peggy’s address: 4975 13th Ave S, Seattle WA 98108
Storytelling on Thursday, March 19th at 4 pm and it’s the final storytelling session till next October! We still need storytellers, so please let Debbie Ward debbieward222@gmail.com know you have a story to tell. March is a month rich in potential topics: St. Patrick's Day, International Women's Day, and Women's History Month (remember Hadiyah's story about working in a "non-traditional" job), the Spring Equinox, Pi Day for you mathematicians out there, and the start of Daylight Savings Time which must have provided a story for at least one of you about missing something or showing up early. Stories are usually 8-10 minutes long…thanks for volunteering!
