Final Military Whist at St. Anne’s

Thursday, May 10, was the date for the final games of Military Whist for this season. Fifteen tables of enthusiasts came out for the fun at St. Anne’s Church Hall and at the conclusion of play, everyone rushed to enjoy the lovely lunch provided by the parishioners and friends.

With thirty flags, the table of Sherley Provis, Lou Joyal, Shirley Beasley and Guillaume Desharnais took first place, followed by two teams sharing second place. With 25 flags, one team was Shirley & Ian Smith, Judy & Francis Saffin; the other was Linda Badger, Sylvia Morin, Mattie Banfill and Amanda Woodford. Low score was earned by the table of Elizabeth & Raymond Mastine, Lise Boisvert and Jim Stevens. A prize went to Shirley Patterson for having four 2’s in one hand, after the cut of the cards Lou Joyal got the prize for having four kings.

Sixteen door prizes were awarded to Bob Dunn, Marie-berthe Skerry, Debbie Knowles, Mary Cassidy, Vera Hughes, Larry Frost, Francis Saffin, Sarah Fowler, Shirley Smith, Amanda Woodford, Bev. Jones, Donna Ham, Robin Converse, Sylvia Morin, Wendy Ridley and Wanda Viens. The groceries went home with Lesley Wintle Brock.

We wish to thank all those who helped in so many ways to make these monthly fundraisers a success. A special thanks to those who contribute monthly to set up, bring prizes and food, clean up afterwards and those that come to play and enjoy an evening. We hope to start up again in the fall. Have a pleasant summer.

Special congratulations to Loretta and Gordon Irwin on celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this week.
