Four tables of enthusiastic players enjoyed another Sunday of fun in the Mint family room playing 7 rounds of pinochle on January 22nd. (Well most of the sixteen were enthusiastic most of the time!) Always depends a lot on the cards, luck, partners, and attitudes!
Highest rounds for the day were played by Lil Foussard and Charlene Moravec with a 2150 followed two rounds later by Wilma Welty and Rebecca Weihe with a 2140! Nice hands ladies!
Have to say probably the most interesting round “win” of the day went to Karla Whetham and Sheila Duncan when their (520) beating Shawn Webster and Elaine Courtnage’s (540) by 20 points. [Yes, those are negative numbers!]
Earning $25 for first place was Rebecca Weihe with her 6820; $20 for 2nd to Lil Foussard with 6720; $15 for third went to John Cline for his 6540; and earning $5 for 4th, 5th, and 6th were Nora Grubb, 6230; Frank Moravec, 6200; and Martha Pleninger with 6100. Getting her $5 back for low of 3320 went to Sheila Duncan.
Play for February is to be decided. Watch for the blue signs at the Mint, Senior Citizen building, and The Grocery Store.
