1st Thursday Euchre at Stevarinos 5:30 pm, April 2 before Easter

Please note this social is the Thursday before Easter. FYI. Please don't sign up if you're going out of town.

This event has been announced. Please don't forget to cancel if you can't attend by 10:30 am if possible**.

***The Chattanooga Euchre Area Group is in need of hosts for socials, possible head organizer and/or co-organizer. Preferably anyone who has been in the group for at least 2-3 years (not consecutive just total experience) with the group and also in the private tournament group if you're interested in being an organizer only.

Time involved is up to you. Ann spends anywhere from 6-40 hours a month depending on how many events she can attend. If you are head organizer, you and the group, can determine where we meet and everything else too.

Hosts are wanted for socials to pick up money and make sure cards are put away in boxes and given to restaurant. Anyone who attends regularly please let Ann know this ASAP. TY

Positions opening as of July 1st. Please contact Ann or Margaret ASAP. If we don't have volunteers we may have a big 20 year anniversary party at the end of June with the money we have collected to pay our Meetup bill .***

It is very important that you go into your settings and make sure that you set them to receive group emails etc. so that you get reminders and especially notifications of cancellations of social events and tournaments.

We are at Stevarinos Italian Eatery for the first Thursday of the month. They have a large Italian American menu and large drink menu.
Please tip a lot if possible. It is very difficult to handle groups of people who move around on the waitresses.

Please be aware that they now charge a 3% service fee for credit cards only plus they may charge 18% tip for a large group. They change the fees occasionally. Always ask if you're not sure. We have been coming here for over 2 years now. The 3% is a charge for credit cards usage that they may pay up to 6%. At least it has been in the past. Oh Well. Don't come if it bothers you please. I can't change their polices. And complaining to me won't help anyone. Thanks.

We meet from 5:30-8:00ish pm. Some come earlier and some stay later. We will be in the back of Stevarinos. There is free parking behind the restaurant.

We now have a private tournament group for the Chattanooga Area Euchre Meetup called the Chattanooga Area Euchre Tournament Group.

There is a separate Chattanooga Area Euchre Tournament Group from the Chattanooga Area Euchre Group where we have the social events. (See link below). Only members who have been to multiple social events or who we know personally will be allowed to join this group for safety purposes. Going forward we will only be posting tournaments in this group, as to avoid having to make anyone's home address publicly available on Meetup and to avoid having new members we don't know sign up for tournaments. You won't be accepted if you don't meet the follow instructions. You don't have to sign up for this group unless you want to attend tournaments and follow all requirements too.

Thursday nights are great for all level of players from beginners to advanced. New to Euchre and don't know how to play? Then this Thursday event is just for you! We will be happy to teach you. If you'd like to get a jump on things you can go to YouTube or go to https://cardgames.io/euchre/ where you can play and learn the rules.

Chattanooga Area Euchre Meetup Group rules variation:

We play “a card laid is a card played” except in the case of a renege. If a renege occurs, it can be corrected before the next trick is led without penalty. When discovered, the opposing team receives 2 points (4 points if it is a loner hand) immediately and the play comes to an end. We also play “stick the dealer.” We play a card laid is a card played. Meaning once a card leaves your hand and is on the table you may not pick it back up unless you realize that you have reneged.

DISCLAIMER: The Chattanooga Area Euchre Meetup Group and its Organizers do not assume responsibility for any alcohol you purchase and/or consume. Please drink responsibly.

We cannot be responsible for anyone catching the COVID virus. We would appreciate that, if you are sick or have been in contact with anyone infected with the virus, you don't attend any event or, if you find out you have come into contact with an infected person within 48 hours of attending one of our events, you contact a chairperson and let her know so she can inform everyone who attended the event. You will remain anonymous of course.

Thanks,

Margaret & Ann
