Canasta Club

Despite the labor day weekend looming just past this Friday, the turnout was actually just as good as last week.  Thanks everyone for coming! :D

For those curious, the results of the mini tournament we set up can be seen in the Sept.3 Event Page (http://canasta.pftq.com/forums/index.php?topic=129.msg225#msg225).  Congrats to Joy and Frank for winning all 3 games in a row and to Frank for winning all 4 of his games so far! :) You can also view the individual rounds in the Ladder Games (http://canasta.pftq.com/data/games/) and comment as you see fit.

The Ladder itself, on the other hand, definitely got shuffled up quite a bit.  We still have Carol in #1 (someone should challenge her at the next meeting :P ) with Frank now in #2, followed by Joy and David.  Remember that you do not have to play all your games at the meeting.  You can always arrange to play members at your own time and submit the games online (see Where You Can Play (http://canasta.pftq.com/WhereCanYouPlay.haha)).

As a reminder the November 5 and 12 tournament dates coming up.  Start looking for partners you'll want to team up with to enter the competition.  As the dates approach, we'll announce more details and logistics.

As usual, feel free to bring people from outside the club.  There is no membership process; anyone can become a member and participate in our activities.  Our next meeting will again be Friday 7-9pm in 215 Dwinelle (Sept.10).  While I don't expect everyone to attend every meeting, it is always nice to see returning faces.  You can also sign up for the event (http://canasta.pftq.com/forums/?topic=138) to let us (and other members) know if you're coming, but it is entirely optional.

Hope to see you there! :D

On a side note, we are also open to anyone who wants to help with the club by becoming an officer, either to teach during the meetings or just help with tabling during the week.  If you are even considering it, just send us an email on our Contact Page (http://canasta.pftq.com/contact--Officer_Position.haha) or read more on Inside the Cabinet (http://canasta.pftq.com/cabinet.haha).
