CLUB MEETING ON July 12th. . . .

one available to run club # 565 on June 28th or July 5th. Therefore there
will be no club meetings on those two dates. Please mark this on your calendars.

This was the twenty-fifth week of the "Special Letter Bingo Contest"
with "L" being the "Special Letter"
for the week. Click
here for rules and current standings No points were scored this week.
Ed Saunders still holds a commanding lead with 1 week left to go in the
contest. Lewis Saul has sole possession of second place and Karen Lundeen
hangs on to a slim one point lead for the third spot.
We featured two regular contests this week.
The first regular contest was the First Day of Summer Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that is summer-related or pertains to summer activities. Ed Saunders came up with "If I don't play better than this in Reno this summer, I might as well just go fly a KITE." 36 pts. Lewis Saul wins it, though, with the somewhat downbeat "The DULLNESS of summer in Tucson is unbearable." 68 pts.
The second regular contest was the Food For Thought Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that is the name of something that can be eaten as a food. Ed reached into the exotic herb jar and came out with OCA - a South American herb - for 18 pts. Lewis held the keys to the spice rack, though, and produced some CHIVEs - also an herb - to go along with his NAN - a round, flat bread - each of which is worth 21 points and allows Lewis to savor the victory in this contest as well.
Lewis picks up $2.00 for his efforts this evening.
No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $0.37 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $350.56 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2006-2007 season.
