February’s Military Whist at St. Anne’s

Thursday evening, February 8, found sixteen tables of players gathered at St. Anne’s Church, Richmond, for the monthly Military Whist card party. Play got underway promptly and an enjoyable evening passed quickly. Lunch was enjoyed by all and the awarding of prizes followed.

Taking first place with twenty-eight flags was the table of Donna Ham, Robert Dunn, Carol and Peter Boisvert. Twentysix flags earned the table of Frances Dewar, Helen Gallup, Marie-paule Pariseau and Larry Frost second place. Low score went to Jacques Dubois, Lucie Beaudin, Robert Pelletier and Jacqueline Pelloquin. Patsy Biggs held 4 kings in one hand.

Door prizes were awarded to Raymond Fortier, Wendy Ridley, Francis Saffin, Jacques Dubois, Helen Knowles, Carol Boisvert, Judy Saffin, Patsy Biggs, Jean Guy Methot, Mariepaule Pariseau, Lucie Beaudin, Ross Davidson, Nicole Clark, Debbie Knowles, Allie Vanderwal, Guilhaume Desharnais, Wanda Viens, Hughie Lancaster, Robert Dunn, Ian Smith, Marie-berthe Skerry, Jim Stevens, Norma Morin, Ron Jones, Linda Badger, Robert Pelletier, Beverley Jones, Peter Boisvert, Charles Hodge and Shirley Beasley. The grocery box was won by Loretta Irwin.

Many volunteers made light work of the clean-up. The men were kind enough to take down the card tables and set up the larger tables in preparation for the Valentine luncheon to be held on Saturday, February 10. This was all very much appreciated.

Please join us next month on Thursday evening, March 8, for another pleasant evening and delicious lunch.
