Euchre
We wish to extend to Hank Yates, our sincere sympathy in the loss of his dear wife Mary on August 3. Our group will miss Mary. She had a gentleness about her, always quiet and unassuming, and so skilled at the game of Euchre. Win or lose, it was always a pleasure to be her partner. Those of us who knew Mary will always remember her fondly.
Though many of our regular players are enjoying travel time, visiting family and friends, and discovering new places, our summer Euchre group continues to enjoy the game in the comfort of the air conditioned Palm Room at Eagle’s Nest Clubhouse every Thursday evening.
We meet at 6:30 p.m. to pay $1 toward prize money, and to socialize and play a few practice rounds until all have arrived.
Play begins at 7:00 p.m. sharp when President, Bill Halte calls out, “DEAL THEM UP!”

Pinochle
Summer’s almost over and the temperatures will be falling back to more acceptable levels. That, of course, means a return of those snowy white birds that some refer to as egrets, but we just call them snowbirds. They add to the challenge of winning as there are just more people and thus more competition, but that’s what makes it so much fun.
