August 2011

Our hostess for AUGUST BUNCO was GINNY. We had one sub, LAURA J, and one ghost. Even BROOKE, who's been MIA since January, played. The night started off with a selection of delicious PIZZA from Carrabba's plus salad, LANDSHARK beer and wine. There was enough wine that we could have each had our very own bottle. We were having so much fun that we ended up playing only ONE ROUND. Afterwards we enjoyed KEY LIME Pie.

February 2011

FEBRUARY is the month of LOVE and what better way to celebrate than to have COUPLE'S BUNCO! Our gracious hostess for the evening was MARY who arranged a fabulous dinner from CARINO'S with lots of yummy appetizers and beverages. There were 16 players including husbands/guests and everybody came ready to play LCR (Left Center Right) instead of roll for BUNCOS.

The winners for the night were:

MARY > round 1
MARK (Michele's husband) > round 2
MARLENE > round 3
MICHELE > last "bunco"

The prize for LAST BUNCO of the night was a pretty basket filled with MOVIE TICKETS and other goodies.
