It's doable. It's a residential neighborhood with onstreet parking but Snyder Ave is a big 2 way St

I was truly excited about our 1st meetup. We had players, seating, drinks, food, refreshments, cards and fun. Renee even rubbed William's head ( sorry) her first time playing ever!! Goooooo, Renee!! It wasn't all Renee, she did have a wee bit of coaching. All in all it was a refreshing change from a usual Thurs. evening. Thank you Renee, William, Paula, Felicia, Yolanda, Karen and George so much for coming out to our Grand Opening!. I really had a wonderful time as I hope all of you did! I'm ready for another one!!
Yolanda

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< NEWSFLASH>>>IMPORTANT APB>>>>HOT OFF THE WIRES!! CALLING..........ALL............PINOCHLE............PLAYERS!!!!! Where have all the Pinochle Players gone? Have you genuinely missed playing Pinochle over the years?? Do you remember the All Niters, playing Pinochle to wayyyy late at night or early the next morning?? Do you remember 3 handed Cut Throat and 4 handed Partners? Do you miss that deliciously wonderful feeling of victory of taking the Board...and making it? When's the last time you rubbed a head or laid down a hundred Aces with Double Pinochle???? Do you miss the strategy, the energy, the challenge, the sheer excitement from a REALLY GOOD game of Pinochle??! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>THEN THIS MEETUP IS FOR YOU!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< For some reason Pinochle games have been a difficult commodity to find anymore, even with all the different variations like Double Deck and others that abound. Have you ever played Pinochle or always wanted to learn how to play?? Why not join us to start a resurgence, to renew an old love or to find a new one?? It's easy enough to learn...or re-learn. Why not get the blood pumping and the adrenaline rushing again?? C'mon ,you know you want to!!! We'll even provide the cards..(for the uninitiated, Pinochle requires a very specialized Deck of Cards). Just bring your hands (to hold the cards) and an open mind! Be treated like royalty...you can be King of the Hill or Queen of the Castle..extra Kings and Queens are in the deck, free of charge. See what it feels like to WIN.....or lose ...royally! Honestly, nothing else is quite like a good, old fashioned Pinochle Party!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HAITI RELIEF EFFORT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Please may I have your attention Party Players? You all may have heard by now, that one of our more impoverished brother/sister nations has been devastated by a horrific natural disaster. Haiti has been rendered practically immobile and helpless by a 7.0 earthquake. This is the absolutely worst disaster in 200 years! Not to dwell on the harsh statistics, but please can we show some help in their direction? We can spend on our pleasures, can we give some towards their need? Their greatest need right now is financial to bring the aid, food, medicine, materials and resources they will so desperately need to start rebuilding. It's not much to us and it won't take long, but it can mean the world to them. Donate - Head to the Red Cross http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntl... or Mercy Corps https://donate.mercycorps.org/donation.htm?DonorIntent=Hai... to make a donation. You can even send a donation right now with your cell phone: text HAITI to 90999, and a $10 donation to the Red Cross will be added to your cell phone bill.
