Tickets go on sale today (June 11), and are available from any member, and on various occasions, at Loon Bay Saturday markets, Interlakes Farmers' Market and Cariboo Mall in 100 Mile House.
Prizes include the quilt; afghan donated by Debbie Patterson; crocheted tablecloth donated by Shirley Campbell; crib board donated by Gary Sayenchuk; birdhouse donated by Al Ballantyne; placemats donated by Lorna Wiebe; and wine bottle holder donated by Mario Huebel.
Crib tourney
Twenty players participated in the LA’s annual crib tournament, May 22.
Participation is restricted to those who have played at least five times over the year, and scores are calculated on points above average.
First place went to Penny Millway, who scored 109 points above her average. In second place, Donna Watson scored plus 101, and Howard Campbell scored plus 69. “Low man” was Bill Murphy with -66.
The Barb Swope Memorial Trophy for highest score went to Penny’s 920 points. Barb was an LA past president and keen crib player who passed away in 2003, but is still fondly remembered.
Sad passing
The community extends sincere sympathy to Helen and Gus Horn, on the May 25 loss of their husband and father, Chris, just shy of his 93rd birthday.
