Othello
Time: Wednesdays 10:00 am
Cost: FREE members
FREE non-members
Location: Dining Room
Description: One of our members, Michael Haynes, has offered to teach and organize players for the game of Othello. This is a game you will flip out over! A two player game, the strategy is to trap and capture your opponent’s pieces by placing your disks on the board. Player start with four, and add one each turn. Every time you "sandwich" one or more of your opponent's pieces you flip those disks to your color, but your opponent will try and do the same to you. Winning means having more pieces on the board than their opponent. The game is considered finished when there are no spaces left on the board or there are no more possible legal moves for either player. If you know the Othello game OR want to learn it check it out. Michael will provide all the things you need to play.
Ice Cream Party
By:
With the Dog Days of August causing all our dogs to bark, we definitely needed a place to cool down. So the center came to the rescue as a part of us being an official Cooling Center. We held another one of our Ice Cream Parties.
Sponsor Laurel Brown with Home Instead Senior Care helped out by bringing Cookies and Cream ice cream for everyone. However, they had to work for it. The crowd played a bit of 50\'s & 60\'s Trivia for their scoops. Some of the answer the crowd got without much thought. Some of the others caused a bit of head scratching, while some questions left people with that deer in the headlight look.
No matter how they did they all had fun. After all, who can’t have fun coming in from the 100 degree plus days into a cool building for ice cream and games? Thanks to everyone who came in to party with us. Special thanks to Home Instead Senior Care for sponsoring the event.
