Military Whist at St. Anne’s

The weather forecast was grim with snow coming in, but on Thursday evening, November 9, even after two tables cancelled, fifteen tables of players showed up at St. Anne’s Church Hall, Richmond. Play got underway and everyone had a good time. All the required plays being made, everyone rushed to the buffet table for the lovely lunch that is always provided by parishioners and friends.

The table with high score, 27 flags, was Norma Morin, Nicole Clarke, Elizabeth Mastine and Jim Stevens. Twenty-six flags earned the table of Joyce Mastine, Debbie Knowles, Allie Vanderwal and Carol Nixon second place. Low score was earned by Carol & Peter Boisvert, Donna Ham and Bob Dunn. No one had any special hands.

Door prizes were chosen by Nicole Clarke, Shirley Beasley, Jacqueline Pellequin, Marie-berthe Skerry, Jacques Dubois, Marie-paule Pariseau, Larry Frost, Shirley Patterson, Raymond Fortier, Bob Dunn, Wendy Ridley, Valerie Fowler, Sylvia Morin, Suzanne Tremblay, Ghyslaine Redburn, Micheline Handfield, Helen Knowles, Amanda Woodford, Gordon Irwin, Norma Murray, Linda Badger, Rita Trudeau, Collette Pageau, Joyce Mastine, Noel Gregoire, Lise Boisvert and Gerald Skerry. Carol Nixon chose the groceries.

Once again, a sincere thanks to all who helped out in any way to make this another successful event for St. Anne’s.

Please note: The December Military Whist card party will be held on Thursday, December 7 – one week earlier – because we don’t want to interfere with people wishing to attend the Scott Woods concert. Call Elizabeth at 819-826-6134 for more information.
