Monthly programs and activity groups provide opportunities to meet and socialize with residents and other newly relocated people sharing common interests.

Please join us for our May Program:

Newcomers Game Night
Tuesday, May 22, 6:30 PM
Gilbert Lodge
6800 North Long Lake Road, TC

 

Game night 2012 promises to be a night of fun, games and, of course, food! The format this year is changing to encompass three “tournaments” – Texas Hold ’em Poker, Euchre and Mah Jongg. You can compete with fellow Newcomers playing the game of your choice. There will be prizes for first place for each of these games. For those of you not interested in tournament play, bring along your favorite game (e.g., dominoes, Bananagrams, Rumicube). The location is also changing to the Gilbert Lodge located at Twin Lakes Park (4½ miles west of Traverse City on North Long Lake Road). This park is part of the Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation Department, so no alcohol is allowed.

 

The Newcomers Club will provide the “main course” and refreshments. The “main course” again is being catered by the House of Doggs and there will be side dishes to accompany the dogs. We will also have soft drinks, water and coffee. With all the great bakers in our organization, we are asking for volunteers to bring cookies/other treats for the dessert.

 

Look for the following Game Leaders for the “tournament” games: Poker – Dan Klimaszewski, Euchre –

Del Johnson, Mah Jongg – Lynn Huffman.

 

Also, we need your help, so please email Kathy Tuckerman at kmt08@att.net if you are able to assist in the following areas:

--Bringing cookies/ treats

--Providing card tables (at least 20 are needed as lodge tables are too long for most games)

--Providing Mah Jongg sets and playing cards

--Set up (move tables and set up card tables)

--Clean up (including moving tables back to original position)

 

There is a $5 registration fee per person, so please get signed up for this event. Complete the form on the front page of the 'Newcomers News,' and return by May 14, along with your check made out to Newcomers Club of Grand Traverse to:  Nora & Rich Socks, 10764 Campanile Square, Traverse City 49684.
