It is so hard to believe that November is upon us and our second State Board Meeting is this coming weekend. If you haven't made any plans for the weekend, please consider joining us! I am sure District 6 can fit you in, as it will be a WONDERFUL weekend!
Don't forget to bring your donations for Operation ShoeBox, Troopons, any completed blankets or supplies for Project Linus, AND..... your rolls dimes for the March of Dimes! Barbara Atkinson, our State Project Director asked I remind you to bring the dimes. But I am certain, Barbara will take any domination for the March of Dimes!
When I sent out the SYN Tournament Registration, I was flooded with questions as to what playing SYN is all about. So I went to "master".... Rose Pasillas! Here is her explanation of playing SYN.....
"SYN is a very easy card game that everyone can play with very little instruction. The SYN stands for (Stop your neighbor or S***w your neighbor which is the original Name). That is why we abbreviate it to SYN.
Here is how it goes: Everyone begins with three quarters in their possession.
The object of the game is not to have the lowest card. In this game aces are the lowest card which makes the king the highest card (which is the stopper card). Everyone is dealt one card face down. The person to the left of the dealer is first. They look at their card. If they think they have the lowest card, they can trade with the person to their left. That person must trade unless they have a king (which is a stopper card). Once the person to your right has traded with you you can keep that card and say you are good. Play continues around the table once until the dealer. The dealer has the choice of keeping whatever card they wind up with or taking the top card. The dealer then turns up their card. Then everyone turns us their card and the lowest card pays their quarter into the pot. If two or more have the same card and they are the lowest they all pay their quarter. Discard the used cards and deal again around the table. Use the same deck until you do not have enough cards to go around the table. You can continue in the game until you lose all your quarters. Then you can play on your honor (with no money) until you lose again. The last person in the game wins the entire pot. It's very simple and lots of fun.
The $5 is a donation whether you play or not. You need three quarters to play the game if you choose to play. The winner at each table gets to keep the pot or if they choose they can donate it to the cause."
So there you have it! A great way to spend the evening with your ESA Sisters and for a Wonderful cause!
Now for this week's IAWL Trivia Question: Uncle Billy likely had a bit too much to drink at the wedding/welcome home reception for Harry and Ruth Bailey. He and George left Ma Bailey's home out the front door. Uncle Billy was looking for his hat, which George reminded Uncle Billy it was on his head. Uncle Billy left and there was a huge noise! What did Uncle Billy run into... what did it sound like?
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to the following sisters (and brothers) for the coming week!
