For those who don't know, International Star Wars Day always falls on May 4 (May the Force be with you - get it?).
Since our regular Scrabble group does not fall on directly on May 4, we will instead celebrate early. Two days early in fact!
Don't forget to spend some money at this restaurant - they really go out of their way to host us!
And don't forget to bring your board, tiles, dictionaries, help sheets, and your sense of fun.
And you get lucky enough to spell one of these words below, get an extra 5 points! Or a brownie. Your choice. ;)
