Tuesday, October 4th became the start of the Halloween Season as the ladies attending that evening’s Bunco Party soon discovered. Entering the Meeting Room of the Community Center, an individual soon found herself in another scenario as she was greeted by a Tall Witch with stringy orange hair hanging from her hat while eerie and ghostly music filled the air. A large black tarantula rested on the window sill daring anyone to venture closer; he was accompanied by a pair of bats lurking nearby. Beneath the scary spider and antagonistic bats was a table well endowed with very tasty treats as supplied by Joyce Jordan, Mary Ann Claiborne and Shirley Gordon. Additionally, Sally Jones provided many plates decorated in the appropriate theme for some of those spectacular goodies including the chocolate cupcakes beautifully sporting Worms!

Following “the pause that refreshes”, these women joined in a resounding “Happy Birthday” to our hostess, Joyce. In addition to receiving an unusual birthday card, Joyce was also gifted with a delicious appearing chocolate cake without candles. For that omission, draw your own conclusions.

And then play commenced with three full tables of players, so Elvira did not visit again. The guest of honor for the evening was Lorene Webb, a former resident who is now making her home in the Lake Conroe area. Not only did Lorene make her presence known with her charming smiles, she also took home the Grand Prize for winning the most games.Other winners were Sally Jones for winning the least games! And a family of three took the remaining prizes: Most Buncos, Debbie Michalek; Floating Bunco, Melissa Satterfield; and the Booby Prize, Paige Satterfield. But, in revenge for these three family members winning, they have been named hostesses for the November Party. Tuesday, November 1st is the date at 7:00 p.m., and we’re wondering who will be the turkey?
