Update on Judith Whitcomb. . . .Bob Whitcomb joined us after his visit with
Judith on thursday. We are happy to pass along the news that Judith's hip

that the recovery period continues to go well and, though Bob indicated
it may still be some weeks away, we look forward to her return to club play.
We were joined by 3 players who played 7 games in which we scored 5,199 points for a 742.7143 (371.3571 ind) point-per-game average. Of the 18 recorded bingos we played, none was a phony that went unchallenged.

only point and now holds a 5 point lead.
We featured two regular contests and two repeats this week.
The first repeat was the Take Me For a Ride in Your Car Contest for the
highest scoring play of a word that pertains to cars or activities involving
cars. Karen Lundeen had the only entry and picks up the $2.50 prize for
"His steering wheel SPINNER (remember those.
. . .?) was the coolest one in school." 75 points
The second repeat was the "BE" The Verb Contest for the highest
scoring play of a verb utilizing the prefix "BE" as
a prefix. No entries were received for this contest again, so it
will "BE" coming back again next week as well. $2.50 will "BE"
in the pocket of a winner.
The first regular contest was the Sounds of Silence Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to sounds or the means by which they are produced. Ed Saunders had the only entry here with "The QUIET in the room was oppressive." for 28 points. $1.75 slips noiselessly into Ed's pocket.
The second regular (uh. . . .normal, maybe?) contest was the Not Your Reg-ULA-r
Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that uses the letters U-L-A
in a group of three but in any order. Ed Saunders jumped up and won this
prize, also $1.75, with his 16 point play of VAULT.
The 9+ Bingo Progressive Jackpot fell to Ed Saunders' ATROPINES
(61 pts) played through an existing "PI" on the board. Ed picks
up another $5.05 for finding this play.
No one cashed in on any of the other Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $0.56 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $252.68 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2006-2007 season.

time, $2.50 shall be awarded to the player who turns in the highest scoring

will "BE" disqualified.
