Cribbage
Donna von Oy
The Cribbage Club had its annual banquet on March 14 with 19 members and 10 guests in attendance. We enjoyed great camaraderie and a wonderful dinner at the Tuscany Falls Dining Room. As you can see by our picture we are a fun group and we always welcome newcomers.
We continue to meet twice monthly, the first Thursday and the third Friday at 1:00 p.m. in the Sienna Room at Tuscany Falls. The club is open to all PebbleCreek residents interested in playing a friendly game of cribbage. If you don’t know how to play, but are interested in learning, come join us for an afternoon of fun. If you have a cribbage board and deck of cards, please bring them with you.
We have winners to report, first, second and third place:
March 20: Sandy Clinton, Rich Rugg and Gary Lind
April 2: John Evers, Sandy Clinton and Pat Schmitz
